1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 103 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
"Congratulations, Jiang Xian."

"How come your script was passed without any news at all? That's really not nice of you."

"Let me know if you need help later."

The news that "Traffic" had been accepted spread faster than Jiang Xian could walk.

He also didn't expect that the script would be approved so smoothly.

I think it has something to do with the fact that he directly copied the original movie. Since "Car and Duck" was successfully approved by the Shanghai Film Studio, it would not be too difficult for it to pass the review at the Beijing Film Studio.

As for some changes to the plot, we can make them slowly during the filming.

Whatever happens, let’s start shooting.

It's no big deal to modify the script during filming.

What's the big deal about changing the script? Some great directors can still make movies without a script.

"Director Jiang, did Director Wang reveal which director will shoot "Traffic?" Jiang Xian asked.

"Not yet. We have to hold another meeting to decide. The preparation period for a movie is very long."

"Where's Director Ling? Director Ling Zifeng and I have already worked together once. We are old partners."

"Ling Zifeng? I'm afraid not. He still has a movie called 'Li Siguang' to shoot." Jiang Huaiyan said, "Okay, I'll go back first. I still have to settle the script fee for you."

"How much will you pay me?"

"We still need to discuss this in the Department of Literature and take all factors into consideration. But don't worry, we will give you the greatest preferential treatment." Jiang Huaiyan laughed and left.

On the other hand, actors such as Zhu Lin and Chen Hong also watched the sample film and discussed it for a long time. In short, they felt extremely shocked when watching the movie they starred in. They couldn't even believe that the effect on the screen was what they could perform.

“I didn’t expect that I would be like that on camera.”

Chen Hong was still not satisfied, and Zhu Lin, who was much taller than her, smiled slightly.

"You acted very well, very smartly."

The two chatted as they walked, and soon they saw Jiang Xian. Zhu Lin quickly took a few steps towards him.

"Comrade Jiang Xiaojiang, how is it?"

"Oh." Jiang Xian sighed.

"Failed?" Zhu Lin's eyelids jumped. "It doesn't matter. I'll revise it. I think it's a very good script."

"It's not that I didn't pass." Jiang Xian showed a confident smile, "It was just that I passed too easily, which surprised me a little."

"Dexing."

Zhu Lin happily pushed him and said, "I told you it's okay. You wrote so well."

"."Chen Hong watched quietly from the side.

There must be something fishy going on between them.

"Let's go and have a meal." Jiang Xian has a relatively high level of consumption awareness. He is not as cautious and frugal as most people nowadays. He always thinks of treating guests when there is a happy event.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the original author of "Furong Town", Gu "Fuzi". This guy is generally recognized by people in the circle as stingy. The year he won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, he went to Beijing to receive the award and promised to treat those editors who had trained him. Everyone was very happy and thought he was going to repay them with a big meal. In the end, the so-called "treat" was to invite a group of people to watch a movie.

He also called some acquaintances from the Beijing Film Studio, such as Zhang Jie, Ge You and others. He also met Chen Xiaoer halfway and simply brought him along. This kid has a flamboyant personality, is carefree and unrestrained.

They found a state-owned restaurant and sat down. The waiter came over listlessly, and when he saw Chen Xiaoer, his eyes lit up.

"Hu Jiaqi! I've seen the movie you starred in. Wow, it's really funny."

Hu Jiaqi is the name of Chen Peisi's character in "Look at This Family".

The boy was so proud that he took the initiative to say, "Waiter, I'll sign an autograph for you."

His voice is very distinctive, shrill and slightly hoarse, with a rhythmic and melodious tone. You know it's him as soon as you hear it.

Jiang Xianle sat happily opposite him, watching Chen Peisi and Ge You sitting together.

It feels so good.

Because one of them is an e-person and the other is an i-person. Chen Peisi is carefree and can have fun just by sitting there, while Ge You is more shy and timid, belonging to the type of person who is reserved and flirtatious.

It would be so joyful if this pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix could appear in the same frame.

Faculty of Literature.

Several editors gathered together.

"How's the remuneration?"

"I think it's okay. Young people usually give this amount, which is neither too high nor too low, and it can also serve as an encouragement."

"more or less."

Shi Wenxin shook his head in dissatisfaction, "You guys treat Jiang Xian as a newcomer?

In the literary industry, every article is paid at the standard of a famous writer. To pay such a small amount of money is to look down on people."

"What Teacher Shi said makes sense." Jiang Huaiyan nodded. "The last time, the script of Border Town was edited by Jiang Xian. No matter what industry he is in, he is not considered a newcomer, so he cannot be given the same standard. For this script, I think he will be given this number."

"hiss"

“A bit high, isn’t it?”

"I think it's okay. This number is appropriate."

After further discussion, there were finally no objections.

Jiang Huaiyan pulled over a sheet and held a pen, "Then I'll fill out the application report."

Jiang Huaiyan quickly wrote down his name on the list, went to Wang Yang's office and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Jiang Huaiyan pushed the door open and saw director Wang Haowei sitting inside.

Wang Haowei is 39 years old this year, very young, and is also the child of a high-ranking official. She also has a younger uncle-in-law who is very famous, and is now the leader of the literary world, Chen Huangmei.

She is a representative of the fourth generation of directors. Cai Ming's "Hai Xia" was her first directed film, and Chen Peisi and Chen Qiang's "Look at This Family" was her independent directorial work.

"Comrade Huaiyan, please sit down first."

Wang Yang pointed at the chair and continued talking to Wang Haowei.

"Haowei, I think you have a very good grasp of this kind of subject matter. You should continue to work on this kind of subject matter. This book is very suitable for you."

"Director, I would like to rest for a while. Besides, I have little experience and am young. If I take on two plays in a row, I am afraid some colleagues will complain."

"Who dares to make a fuss?" Wang Yang slammed the table. "Our job is to provide the country with excellent films. Just go ahead and do what you want."

Wang Haowei was somewhat touched.

"Since you've said that, I have nothing to worry about. As for the crew, I prefer to use the same team as in Look at This Family. We are more familiar with each other and can start filming as soon as possible."

Wang Yang recalled the memories and affirmed: "Chen Qiang and his son, Liu Xiaoqing, Fang Shu, and Zhang Jinling are all suitable actors."

Jiang Huaiyan was standing nearby and heard it all clearly.

After signing the contract with Wang Yang, he took the script fee for "Traffic" back home.

As soon as Jiang Xian finished his meal, he received the notice and went to the Department of Literature.

"Director Jiang, how is it?"

Jiang Huaiyan handed him the list and said, "Go and contact the finance department. We are definitely treating you well."

"I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune." Jiang Xian muttered to himself. It should be at least more than 500. The last time I revised "Border Town", I was given 500.

Jiang Huaiyan handed over the list.

"After unanimous discussion in our factory, we decided to give you this number."

"Huh"
