China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 79 20 points to buy the script! (Please read more!)

From the end of January to the beginning of February, Lin Xuan ran business performances all over the country for half a month.

Every time I go, I sing two songs, say hello to the audience and then leave, which takes less than half an hour.

At most, he could run five venues a day.

At the end of the song, two songs that I originally liked were suddenly sung to the point where I felt like vomiting. Even when I was sleeping, the rhythm of "Good Spring" was in my head.

But complaints are complaints, it’s really profitable to run a commercial show.

It can be said that he has made a lot of money in this half month. Excluding the portion given to the company, he personally made 20.

This has exceeded his income from more than three months of hard work on the set of "Detective Detective Dee".

This is only half a month, no wonder Fan Xiaopang likes to perform in commercials so much.

However, Lin Xuan has not forgotten his main business. After all, only acting income is counted in the system points.

In order to achieve a million-dollar achievement as soon as possible, he also urged Wang Jinhua to help him find a role, but after a long time of searching, there were very few reliable ones.

Until one day, Wang Jinhua sent him an audition invitation.

Lin Xuan opened it and almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

"Kangxi Dynasty"!
That's right, it's the classic TV series starring Chen Daoming.

After the show was aired that year, the ratings exploded and caused heated discussions.

Even more than ten years later, the popularity is still high, and countless audiences are revisiting this classic every day.

So how did this overwhelming wealth fall on his head?
It turns out that when the showrunners invited Chen Daoming to star, they showed him and Wang Jinhua the outline of the script.

When I learned that three actors were needed to play Kangxi in three age groups: childhood, youth, middle-aged and old.

Wang Jinhua decisively recommended Lin Xuan to play the role of Young Kangxi.

The showrunners thought Lin Xuan's image and acting skills were very good, so they sent him an audition invitation.

Lin Xuan was quite excited at first, it was "Kangxi Dynasty".

But when he heard that playing the role of Kangxi required shaving his head, he began to retreat.

It's not that I'm an angry teenager, or I'm worried that shaving my head will affect subsequent filming, I just simply feel that it's too ugly to show my bare forehead.

Moreover, his hair grows slowly. Once he shaves his head, it will take at least three or four months to get it back to its original shape.

So he tentatively asked: "Can you not shave your head and use a hood?"

Wang Jinhua was so angry that she laughed and said, "Chen Daoming had to shave his head for this role. You are a bigger star than him."

One sentence completely blocked the road to wearing hoods.

In this case, Lin Xuan can only choose one of the two.

Either give up the role or shave my head and look ugly for three months.

Just when he was struggling, a surprise came from the script library.

After his unremitting gold digging, he finally found a good script - "Adult Style of Love"!
This drama is tagged into three categories: romance, suspense, and drama.

Through the system introduction, we learned that the movie of the same name was released in the island country in 15 and took in a box office of US$1000 million.

The box office performance of the movie is average compared to that of mainland movies, but it is a good result in the island country.

The original novel of the script was published in the island country in 04. It sold millions of copies a year and was selected into many mystery novel recommendation lists. The author won the Mystery Writers Association Award that year for this book.

The million-selling mystery novel only sold for 20 points, and Lin Xuan felt a little moved.

The film is set in the 90s, and it is a modern drama. It does not require special effects and the scenes are relatively simple.

Lin Xuan has filmed so many movies and has a general understanding of how production costs are calculated.

If you don't take into account the actors' remuneration and the film's publicity and distribution expenses, this film can be completed with 30 yuan.

Romantic suspense films, with low trial and error costs, are most suitable for newcomers like him.

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became. With a wave of his hand, he spent 20 points to buy the complete script.

…………

The complete plot is as follows:

Fatty nerd Xiaopang is a senior student.

At a sorority party, he met Xiaohong, a cheerful and cute girl.

Xiaopang fell in love with her at first sight, but because of his poor condition, he always had a crush on her and did not dare to pursue her actively.

What's interesting is that Xiaohong, who is the goddess in the eyes of her classmates, actually has a crush on the fat and nerdy little fat boy.

After the sorority party, Xiaohong took the initiative to call him and ask him to hang out.

As they met more and more often, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, and eventually they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Although Xiaopang has a bad appearance, he has a gentle personality and is a warm man who knows how to make Xiaohong happy.

For example, give her books she likes to read, accompany her to the beach, and give her a ruby ​​ring.

On Christmas Eve, Xiaopang wanted to book a high-end restaurant and hotel to spend Christmas with Xiaohong.

The hotel was full during the holidays, but Xiaopang was very lucky. When he called to make a reservation, a guest happened to cancel his reservation.

Although the two of them are very sweet together, the appearance of the little chubby boy is really bad, and it is not suitable for them to walk together when shopping.

There were even passers-by pointing behind my back, saying that Xiao Pang’s family must be very rich, and Xiao Hong must be a money-worshiping girl.

Xiaopang felt very inferior after hearing this.

It happened that Xiaohong gave him a pair of AJ basketball shoes on Christmas Eve, and he decided to use these shoes to run and lose weight.

Work out, lose weight, find a job, get your driver's license, buy a new car...

After half a year of unremitting efforts, Xiao Pang finally succeeded in losing weight and became Xiao Shuai.

He was also appreciated by his boss for his hard work and was sent to work in other places, leaving Xiaohong alone in his hometown.

In the beginning, Xiaoshuai would drive back to his hometown to meet Xiaohong every weekend.

The two are as sweet as ever and have not been affected by the long-distance relationship.

But the two places are far apart. Xiaoshuai works very hard every day and wastes his rare weekends driving back and forth.

Moreover, gas and tolls are very expensive, which is also a big expense for him.

Gradually, Xiaoshuai felt a little irritable. It happened that Xiaomei, a new colleague in the company, had a good impression of him.

After several attacks, Xiaoshuai couldn't hold on and cheated.Just like that, he went back once a week, then once every two weeks, then once a month, and his relationship with Xiao Hong also cooled down rapidly.

Until one day when he was at Xiaohong's house and accidentally called out Xiaomei's name, the relationship finally came to an end.

After the breakup, Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei were officially together, but he still thought of Xiaohong occasionally.

Once he couldn't help but call Xiaohong.

Even without speaking, Xiaohong called out his name.

This made Xiaoshuai even more painful and began to doubt his decision.

On Christmas Eve, Xiaoshuai suddenly remembered that he had canceled the hotel room reservation, but did not have time to tell Xiaohong.

According to her slow and stubborn character, she might have been waiting for him at the door of the hotel.

At this thought, Xiaoshuai couldn't sit still anymore and drove to his hometown overnight.

After reading this, the script has reached the last page.

Lin Xuan only thought that this was a very ordinary love novel.

A fat man rebelled against the goddess. After successfully losing weight and becoming a handsome boy, he was seduced by a mistress. In the end, he regretted and wanted to get the goddess back.

Although the character design is still novel, the plot is a bit cliché, and it did not attract the audience when it was made into a movie.

Lin Xuan continued reading.

Xiaoshuai hurried to the hotel, and Xiaohong was standing at the door.

It was dark at this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, and she didn't know how long she had been standing here waiting.

Xiaoshuai was moved and blamed himself, and quickly ran towards Xiaohong.

As a result, halfway through, he bumped into someone else and fell to the ground.

He stood up and looked up. The person who hit him was a fat man.

He was wearing a black suit and a pair of AJ basketball shoes.

Xiao Hong quickly ran over and helped the fat man up. The two of them had a very close contact, and they were obviously boyfriend and girlfriend.

When she turned around and saw Xiaoshuai, she was stunned.

The script ends here.

Lin Xuan felt a chill down his spine and had goosebumps all over his body.

He finally understood why the script was labeled suspense.

Because Xiaopang and Xiaoshuai are basically two people!

The original author uses narrative tricks to lead readers into the trap he has set.

The reader is led to think there is only one timeline, but there are actually two.

Until the end of the story, the author reveals the truth in just a few lines, completely overturning the previous text and turning the story 180 degrees.

Lin Xuan took out a pen and paper and reorganized the timeline with the final results.

Xiaoshuai and Xiaohong were originally boyfriend and girlfriend, but due to Xiaoshuai's job transfer, the two began a long-distance relationship.

Bored, Xiaohong started to join the fraternity party. Because Xiaopang's name was similar to Xiaoshuai's, she became interested in him.

Xiaoshuai hooked up with Xiaomei in the company, and Xiaohong was not idle either.

If Xiaoshuai comes back this week, she will reject Xiaopang. If Xiaoshuai doesn't come back, she will ask Xiaopang to hang out and have sex with him.

Two people are cuckolding each other.

After the breakup, Xiaoshuai once called Xiaohong.

The other party directly called his name, which made Xiaoshuai feel guilty. Little did he know that Xiaohong thought the caller was Xiaopang.

When Xiaopang booked the hotel, a guest happened to cancel the reservation, and that person was Xiaoshuai.

On Christmas Eve, Xiaopang and Xiaohong came to the hotel after dinner. Because they were ridiculed by passers-by, Xiaopang decided to run to lose weight.

He put on AJ and ran around the hotel, while Xiaohong stood at the door and watched him being silly.

It wasn't until he accidentally knocked down Xiaoshuai that everything became clear.

…………

After reading it again, Lin Xuan's heart surged.

He closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, imagining the words in the script into movie scenes.

What do the actors in the play look like?

Who should be cast?

Where were the seaside scenes shot?

How should the indoor scene be arranged?

What should an actor's tone and demeanor be like when acting?

The early stage of the movie can be shot completely as a love movie, with beauty and pure love.

Several foreshadowing clues should be left in the middle to pave the way for the final shocking twist.

The essence of the entire movie is the few lines at the end, which directly increases the value of the script.

Otherwise, based on the previous content, let alone selling 20 points, Lin Xuan would not take a second look even if he broke his bones.

The more I thought about it, the clearer the film looked.

The desire in my heart to make a movie is getting stronger and stronger.

Lin Xuan got up, turned on the computer, and wrote out the complete script of the movie.

He changed the timeline of the play to the late 90s, and localized the location, name, occupation, work, and language of the island country.

Then he clicked on the film and television course library and spent 1 points to purchase basic courses on screenwriting, directing, storyboarding, and color graphics.

It’s not easy for a newbie to become a director.

At least you have to show some real talent and practical knowledge before you can convince others to invest.

　Thanks to "Mengchenxi mcx" for the 5000 point reward, the boss is awesome!
