Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 131: A shocking imagination with color! Liu Tianxian: I opened Pandora's box

"Do you think this script can impress me?" Liu Yifei took the script but did not rush to open it.

"You'll know when you take a look." Zhang Yang picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"If you can't impress me, I'll kick you out." Liu Yifei threatened deliberately.

Zhang Yang stared at her fair face for a while, his eyes turned playful: "If that's what you said, I won't be polite when we discuss investment and filming after you finish reading the script."

Liu Yifei was surprised by Zhang Yang's confidence.

Even directors like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou wouldn't dare to say that their projects will be a hit, right?
Of course the situation is different for directors and screenwriters.

In fact, people in the industry all know the importance of a good script. In Europe, America, Japan and other countries, the status of screenwriters is often not inferior to that of directors, and there is a screenwriter-centered system.

It’s just that in China, directors and actors are above screenwriters, and only a few can gain status.

"Okay, let me see the basis of your confidence."

Liu Yifei pulled out a chair and sat down, opening the script.

Drama title: "Strange Girl"

"She's weird?"

"You're the weird one."

Liu Yifei's eyes swept over Zhang Yang, she muttered something, and began to read the script carefully.

As she read on, she became immersed in the story and couldn't take her eyes away.

Zhang Yang curled the corners of his lips and turned around to continue editing the TV series.

The editor can actually do this job, but he can't do it to a degree that satisfies him.

If he is acting in someone else's TV series, such as "The Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky", he will only ensure that his part is broadcast normally and will not interfere with the specific operation plan.

Time passed slowly, and the only sounds in the computer room were the sounds of keyboards and the occasional turning of pages.

In the villa's living room, Liu Xiaoli came down from her nap and asked the maid, "Has the afternoon tea been delivered to Ayang?"

Liu Xiaoli only had concerns on the first day about Zhang Yang living in her house these days, but she thought it was nothing after thinking about it.

Providing a guest room that is already empty and unused, and adding a few more dishes and a pair of chopsticks for meals, is not even enough to cover the cost of raising so many cats at home every day.

But she can gain happiness.

In Zhang Yang's words, get emotional value.

"The young lady delivered it personally at 2 o'clock." The maid replied.

"Sent by Xixi?" Liu Xiaoli was slightly stunned.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and she found this matter incredible.

Her daughter has a superior appearance and is considered difficult to approach, but in fact she has a very generous and open-minded personality. To put it bluntly, she might be called a "loser", but she is very proud deep down.

She didn't know what happened that night that made Liu Yifei deliberately avoid Zhang Yang these days.

But Liu Yifei didn't chase them away, and Zhang Yang generously stayed there, so there must not be any big problems.

But Liu Yifei would take the initiative to bow her head and show goodwill, which is not simple.

"Does she really like Ayang?" Liu Xiaoli had a guess in her mind.

To change a woman's character, the only thing left is blinding love.

Regardless of his family background, Ayang's personality and appearance are indeed likable, and no normal girl can resist him.

If Ayang also has outstanding abilities and connections among his peers, they would be a good match.

"But whether we can make it to the final step still depends on me, a person who has been through it."

Liu Xiaoli put down her teacup, got up and went to the computer room.

When she reached the door, she did not rush in, but put her ear against the door and eavesdropped.

After hearing no sound for a while, she raised her hand to knock on the door.

Just then, a sound was finally heard from inside the house.

It was Liu Yifei who urged impatiently: "Can you hurry up? I'm tired of waiting."

Zhang Yang's somewhat helpless voice sounded: "This matter can't be rushed. We have already started it and we have to finish it. It would be so uncomfortable to give up halfway."

Liu Xiaoli:!

"It's not that hard to pause for a while." Liu Yifei urged: "Is it possible that you won't be able to do it later?"

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, it's a question of habit. I won't feel comfortable if I don't finish it." Zhang Yang replied: "Just bear with it for a while."

Liu Xiaoli: ! !
"It's all your fault. You only gave me this good thing now." Liu Yifei's tone was full of complaints, but also surprise: "But you have a conscience and knew to give it to me first."

"Our relationship hasn't reached that stage before, so of course I can't just take it out casually." Zhang Yang's voice sounded with a smile: "This is the confidence for me to continue staying here to eat, drink and live for free."

"How about it, is this strong enough?"

"Hard, hard, hard, this is too hard." Liu Yifei rolled her beautiful eyes and put the script on the table: "No wonder you are so confident, I am really moved by you."

"No, I think I was tempted."

Liu Xiaoli: !!!

Oh my god, my good daughter is actually in the computer room with Zhang Yang.
This is too bold!

And judging by the casual conversation, it was obviously not the first time.

Could it be that what happened on New Year's Eve was
“No wonder Xixi slept until the afternoon on New Year’s Day.

"No wonder I asked Auntie to call Xixi, but Ayang persuaded me to stop."

"No wonder we haven't seen each other in the past few days. We must have been honest with each other. I'm sorry, Xixi."

"No wonder Ayang is not shy when he comes home, and Xixi doesn't think there's anything wrong with it."

"Ayang is so considerate when chatting with me, do you think of me as your mother?"

"No wonder."

Liu Xiaoli suddenly understood.

Many things that seemed strange or incomprehensible before now have answers at this moment.

This made her feel a little complicated for a while.

The little girl that I raised, Jiaojiao, has finally grown up and blossomed on this day.

If she had not been satisfied with Zhang Yang in many aspects, she would have been in a worse mood.

But every woman will have such a day, and she doesn't really feel too sad.

"Ah!" Liu Yifei screamed in the room, "Be gentle, or I'll fight you to death if you break anything."

"Sister Xixi, this looks like my stuff?" Zhang Yang corrected. "It's mine now." Liu Yifei said arrogantly, "Unless you don't want to continue living in my house."

"You're becoming a bit of a hooligan." Zhang Yang said half helplessly and half teasingly.

"I am a gangster." Liu Yifei laughed, "I also run a black shop."

Liu Xiaoli's charming face flushed: "."

It was wrong for me to listen to my daughter and her future son-in-law's secret affairs.

The main reason is that what young people say nowadays is too explicit.
"I didn't mean to listen." Liu Xiaoli rubbed her legs and left.

Returning to the living room, she asked the maid to buy more nourishing meat and vegetables, as there were vegetables in her own yard.

"By the way, tell anyone not to disturb the two young people in the computer room while they are working." Liu Xiaoli instructed with a calm expression.

Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei didn't know about all this.

At this moment, Liu Yifei was constantly patting the water droplets on the surface of the script.

She screamed just now because Zhang Yang accidentally knocked over the water cup with his arm when he turned around, and the water spilled onto the script.

"You have a printer, so just print another copy." Zhang Yang turned and looked at Liu Yifei.

He finally finished editing the episode he was working on.

He has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and would feel uncomfortable if he didn't finish editing.

"Paper is free." Liu Yifei deliberately made trouble.

"It costs money and it's environmentally friendly." Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up, indicating that he would not fight with you.

"Humph." Liu Yifei raised her chin and said, "I want this script. Make an offer."

Zhang Yang just looked at her without saying anything.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei felt a little guilty when she was looked at.

"I won't say any more nonsense." Zhang Yang sat up straight, showing the temperament of a superior: "I'm just saying, Liu Yifei wanted to buy the script immediately after reading it, why should I sell it instead of investing in it myself?"

Liu Yifei: “.”

It doesn't mean that when doing business you should ask for an exorbitant price and then pay the low price.

Shouldn't she raise the price a bit so that it would be easier to negotiate?

"Then how do you tell me how to cooperate?" Liu Yifei's momentum weakened: "In any case, the heroine must be me."

This was a complete surrender, making Zhang Yang feel like he was bullying her.

"That's not what you said at first." Zhang Yang teased her deliberately.

"Who would have thought this story would be so good." Liu Yifei muttered.

She felt that what she had opened was not a script, but a Pandora's box that was tempting her.

"Yes, the story is not only good, but also touching to you, right?"

Zhang Yang was not surprised by Liu Yifei's performance, or rather, it was within his expectations.

Many people may not have heard of the movie "Granny Flatterer", but if you mention "20 Again", there are quite a few people who know it.

Among the four returning sons in the future, the script has Lu Han, a top-notch real man, as the male lead.

"Miss Granny" and "20 Again" are special products of the honeymoon period of Sino-South Korean diplomacy and the close cooperation between the entertainment circles of both sides. They are multiple films based on one book.

Remakes and high imitations exist in the entertainment industry. For example, Peninsula remade China's "Scarlet Heart" and "Infernal Affairs", and China also remade Peninsula's "I Hear Your Voice" and "Descendants of the Sun".

When a work becomes successful and influential, it will be adapted into its own culture for secondary creative interpretation.

Multiple versions of a script are not remakes, but rather the creation of a script and having multiple teams shoot several versions at the same time.

"Back to 7" is the Chinese version. The results are not great but it is definitely not bad for a top-tier movie. The low-budget youth film has a box office of nearly million yuan and a Guaba score of over .

"Granny Flatterer" is a Korean version, which has been watched by nearly eight million people in the Peninsula. It has been the king of youth romance films for a long time, and its Guaban score is nearly 8.5.

Peninsula Movies only talks about the number of moviegoers and not the box office. After all, the whole country is only as big as Zhejiang Province in China. The ticket prices are all set uniformly, and you can find the answer by multiplying the box office. The ticket prices for different types of movies in different years are different.

In the opinion of Koreans, the number of moviegoers can better reflect the quality of a movie than its box office.

If converted into box office, "Granny Lai" has a box office of over 300 million in the Peninsula.

Whether in terms of story or performance, "Granny Lai" is indeed better than "20 Again".

Zhang Yang's version of "Miss Granny" modified some of the shortcomings criticized by many people based on the original version, and changed the characteristics of the peninsula culture into those of Chinese culture.

It is not difficult to make changes. After all, a lot of the culture of the peninsula is derived from Chinese culture, so the quality of this script is even better than the Korean version of "Granny Flatterer".

Although Liu Yifei is not very good at choosing movie scripts and is superstitious about big productions, she has been in the entertainment industry for so long that she has no problem with basic appreciation.

While she was impressed by the quality of the script and the story, what really attracted her was that the movie had a strong female lead.

For a long time, the creation of movies and TV series has tended to be biased towards male perspectives or group dramas.

In recent years, the number of TV dramas told from a female perspective has been increasing, which are called "female-led dramas."

In the future, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying will be the epitome of heroine-led dramas, and later Liu Yifei "came down to earth" to join in.

But in terms of movies, there are almost no productions from a female perspective. As for youth dramas and idol dramas, it is a two-way street.

Although Liu Yifei has always played the female lead in the movies she has acted in over the years, her roles and importance are sometimes not as good as the second or even third male lead. Even "So Young" is a film that tends to be a group portrait.

"Granny Flatterer" is a movie with a strong female lead. It tells a fantasy story about a 70-year-old grandmother who suddenly turns into a young woman in her 20s.

For Liu Yifei, who is still pursuing "artistic quality" among some literary youths, this is as attractive as a nuclear bomb.

This time, Zhang Yang has the right medicine for the situation.

"I admit."

“It touched me.”

"Just tell me how to cooperate."

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yang straight, with an expression that said if you don’t tell me, I’ll bite you.

She thinks the heroine of this drama will become a classic for her.

And, she can finally prove to the public that she has acting skills.

"Since we've come to this point," Zhang Yang smiled, "then you will be responsible for organizing a filming team."

"With me being the director and the male lead, I can invite you to be the female lead."

"How about it, sincere enough?"

Liu Yifei:?

Do you have any misunderstanding about the word "sincere"?

It’s fine for you to be the male lead, you can handle being a movie director! ?
