Chapter 400: Conquering the Landlady

With Guo Fan's reminder, Qi Hao also paid attention to the progress of the screenwriting team.

I even took a look at the newly released script.

This script is an entry for an competition. Although it's not time for judging yet, many people already believe it has a good chance of winning first place.

This is also why Qi Hao wanted to see the script.

There were two screenwriters who personally delivered the script to Qi Hao, ready to answer his questions at any time.

"Li Qingzhao...a biographical film?"

Qi Hao thought it was a campus romance movie.

He filmed several campus romance movies, leading everyone to believe that he really liked this genre.

He has recently received many submissions for campus romance films.

"Li Qingzhao is a remarkable woman in Chinese history, but there isn't a single film about her that can be considered a classic. So we thought we'd give it a try."

The speaker has a very martial arts-sounding name, Mo Fenghan, so it's likely that at least one of his parents is a martial arts enthusiast.

The other one is named Lu Xin.

Both of them are members of the screenwriting team at Zhonghao Entertainment.

The scriptwriting team consists of about twenty or thirty people.

These people have varying degrees of closeness in their relationships and different research interests.

After the rules for free team formation were announced, they immediately got together and produced the script for "Li Qingzhao" in a very short time.

They were able to choose this topic thanks to Guo Fan's suggestion.

Guo Fan stated that Zhonghao Entertainment's screenwriting business is undergoing a major transformation.

Riding on the wave of Zhonghao Entertainment's rapid development, screenwriters also have the opportunity to rise to prominence, transforming from assistant screenwriters who don't even have the right to be credited into top screenwriters, and even able to write and direct their own works.

To stand out, besides having the ability, one must also learn to assess the situation.

Instead of trying to write a script that will please the boss, why not switch tracks and write a script that suits the boss's wife?

The boss's wife holds a transcendent position in the entertainment industry, and an even more transcendent position in the company.

It was like an epiphany.

Mo Fenghan and Lu Xin immediately thought of the Li Qingzhao script they had discussed.

Movies featuring strong female leads are very difficult to make.

TV dramas are generally more popular, and the TV remote control is usually in the hands of housewives.

However, An Feng desperately needs a movie script featuring a strong female lead.

Her status has reached its ceiling.

To rise further, it must continue to transform.

TV dramas are starting to experiment with modern themes.

Films, on the other hand, require taking on roles that are more challenging to perform.

Biographical films like "Li Qingzhao" depict her life from girlhood to adulthood, from falling in love and getting married, from being in harmony with her husband Jinse to gradually drifting apart, from living a life of luxury to being displaced and suffering hardship.

From her, one can see culture, family, and country...

If An Feng can portray this role well, Li Qingzhao will definitely become his representative work.

"Is this too small for someone trying to look young?"

An Feng was right next to Qi Hao, leaning half of himself against Qi Hao.

Mo Fenghan and Lu Xin's scripts were accompanied by several character sketches.

One of the pictures is from when the main character first appeared.

It's obvious that they are very young.

"If all else fails, you can ask Jiang Jiaen to act for you."

Qi Hao didn't take it to heart. Since "My Love from the Star" could find child actors, this was naturally no problem either.

Moreover, the period of adolescence does not occupy a large portion of the script.

"I should be able to act in this kind of role. The scene in the painting is about drinking, I'm familiar with that kind of thing..."

An Feng still drinks occasionally.

Even when she was alone with Qi Hao, she would sometimes have a few drinks.

Qi Hao loved watching An Feng when he was drunk.

When An Feng is slightly tipsy, his face turns red and his eyes seem to be covered with a layer of mist.

Her originally sweet, childlike voice had taken on a slightly hoarse quality.

They will shed all their strength and reveal their most authentic selves.

They will also be more unrestrained and daring.

"You're really something."

Qi Hao joked, "How about we have a few drinks tonight?"

"The Jin Kingdom invaded later, which made the acting very difficult. It got even more difficult later on. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to act well."

An Feng is a book lover and has some knowledge of this great ancient female scholar.

“You can take your time. At worst, you can split a film into several years. Look at Wang Jiawei, she spent ten years honing her craft. The final product is bound to be good.”

Society is more stable now, and An Feng not only has money but also Qi Hao's protection, so she is unlikely to be able to experience Li Qingzhao's later years. However, as she grows older, her understanding and experience will also increase.

"..."

The two screenwriters, Mo Fenghan and Lu Xin, standing to the side, were speechless for a moment.

They were both hoping to make a name for themselves.

As a result, the boss and his wife, who are always showing affection for each other, actually intend to make a movie that will take ten years to film. It's unclear whether they will ever have a chance to make it big.

"Why didn't you wait until I was old to film the finale?"

An Feng was both amused and exasperated.

That's outrageous! It's just a case of being rich and willful.

"The script is finalized first, and I'll direct it."

Qi Hao did not give the new screenwriter the opportunity to direct.

This script is of very good quality.

It may not have high box office returns, but it creates a very effective sense of epic scale, destiny, and vicissitude.

After reading the script, it felt as if I had witnessed the dramatic and legendary life of the first female lyricist.

These two screenwriters are great at writing scripts, but they might not be good at directing.

Not all screenwriters can direct and act in their own films.

"thank you boss!"

Mo Fenghan was overjoyed. The boss personally directing was definitely the greatest affirmation of the script.

This is also beneficial for the script to participate in competitions.

Is it appropriate to give a low score to a script that even the boss approves of?

The screenwriting competition held internally by Zhonghao Entertainment this time has a prize of one million yuan. Even if the two of them split it, each of them will still get 500,000 yuan.

That's equivalent to five or six years of their salary.

Throughout the day, quite a few people came to Qi Hao with scripts, but not many were chosen by him.

However, some people didn't come to deliver scripts.

Instead, they came here to ask for the script.

“I heard Baoqiang tell this story. He didn’t say much, just mentioned the idea. I’m very interested. I heard that you’re hiring a director, Mr. Qi. What do you think of me? I’m willing to start as an assistant director.”

The person who came was named Chen Sicheng.

He and Wang Baoqiang are good friends and belong to the small circle of people from "Soldiers Sortie".

They often met and chatted privately. During one such gathering, they came up with the idea of ​​creating a TV series together, wanting to make a work that truly expressed their feelings and emotions.

Thus, the general framework of "Beijing Love Story" was discussed, including the plot and the allocation of various characters.

Recently, when we got together, we discussed the script for the TV series "Beijing Love Story" again.

The script is basically complete, and we can soon move on to the investment and filming stage.

Chen Sicheng remarked at the time that filming TV dramas was nothing compared to the thrill of filming movies.

Among these people, including Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Li Chen, Wang Baoqiang is the most successful.

The boss of Hezhonghao Entertainment is a brother.

They have access to a plethora of excellent resources and even have the opportunity to participate in film investment.

Knowing that Chen Sicheng aspired to be a director, Wang Baoqiang suggested that after finishing his TV series, he should make an appearance with Qi Hao to see if he could join Zhonghao Entertainment.

Chen Sicheng immediately became interested.

They inquired in detail about the internal workings of Zhonghao Entertainment Company.

He came from a wealthy family and had a certain arrogance, but that arrogance didn't work on Qi Hao.

Because Qi Hao's level is simply too high.

Chen Sicheng and his family background are incomparable to Qi Hao.

Wang Baoqiang then explained it to him.

Later, he also mentioned the script he was currently reading.

Although he was good friends with Chen Sicheng and others, he understood that Qi Hao's direct handing over of the script to him was a sign of immense trust in him.

I heard that the script for "Detective Chinatown" is currently being revised by the scriptwriting team at Zhonghao Entertainment.

It will be made into a series in the future.

If he leaks the script and someone else gets there first, even if he wins the lawsuit, he will inevitably suffer a huge loss.

So what he said was rather superficial.

Even so, Chen Sicheng was deeply attracted.

He felt that this detective drama script was fatally attractive to him, and he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life if he missed it.

So, he shamelessly went to find Qi Hao.

Why wait for the TV series to be filmed?

At worst, I'll just cancel the TV series and become the assistant director.
