Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 367 Inspiration is like a spurt; it comes and goes unstoppable!
Because of Qi Hui... cough, because of her own reasons, Gao Yuanyuan is still single and has not gotten married like Qi Hui did before she transmigrated.

It is said that her breakup with Zhao Youting was due to personality clashes and differing ideologies, and had nothing to do with Qi Hui.

At the time, Qi Hui had only said a few flirtatious things; he shouldn't have been the culprit.

"How have you been lately, Sister Yuanyuan?" Qi Hui asked with a smile.

"It's alright. I'll work hard and strive for my career." Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Director Qi, if you have any suitable scripts in the future, remember to contact me."

"Haha, I'm afraid I can't get you to come." Qi Hui chuckled unconsciously.

If he had a good script, he would naturally think of Jing Tian first.

It's not that we can't ask Gao Yuanyuan, but I'm afraid she won't want to play a supporting role.

"You overestimate me." Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Qi Hui and said charmingly, "I don't pick and choose scripts anymore, I'll take any movie or TV series."

Men only slow down her acting pace; Gao Yuanyuan is now fully dedicated to her work.

Besides, it's not like she hasn't acted in TV dramas before. Last year, the romantic drama "Let's Get Married" she starred in with Huang Haibo was a hit and achieved many top ratings.

It's also a love story.

This is why "Wolf Warrior" was not popular with investors.

These days, whether it's movies or TV series, the most popular genre is romance.

"Wolf Warrior" is a men's movie all about fighting and killing, and the romance elements were even cut. No wonder investors weren't optimistic about it!
Even if you film men falling in love, it's still better than filming men driving tanks!
……

"I see..." Qi Hui looked enlightened, then smiled and said, "I look forward to working with you."

"I'm looking forward to it too," Gao Yuanyuan said with a soft laugh. After exchanging pleasantries, she introduced the ABC (American-born Chinese) standing next to her:

"This is Snow Zou, a contracted director with Emperor Entertainment Group."

"She is preparing a romance movie, and I will star in it."

“Nice to meet you,” Snow Zou nodded slightly and said.
"May I ask if you can speak English? I think you can see that I just came back from the United States."

"...Is that what the women are saying?" A string of English came flying at him, but Qi Hui was too lazy to think about translating, so he just replied in Tianjin dialect.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing to the side, was taken aback at first, and then almost burst out laughing.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth.

Qi Hui is such a handsome man, always dressed in a suit and tie, with a dashing face. He is a genuine success and a young talent.

But when he speaks, it's in the humorous Tianjin dialect.

In Gao Yuanyuan's mind, an image of someone wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket and performing crosstalk subconsciously popped into her head.

The contrast between reality and imagination was so great that she couldn't hold back for a moment.

"Hahaha..." Wu Jing burst out laughing.

Director Li was taken aback for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

In fact, this Snow Zou's real name was Zou Xian. She was born in the capital city, and her parents took her with them when they went abroad as children.

She spent her childhood in Beijing, so naturally she understands Mandarin.

But international students... those who know, know.

People from other countries, or those who study science and engineering abroad, are fine, but Zou Xian is someone who studied business and art in the United States.

The attitude of these people towards their motherland is basically self-evident to most.

While not absolutely certain, it's pretty close to the truth.

When Snow Zou heard the Tianjin dialect coming from the other side, he was also stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.

But Wu Jing's undisguised laughter, coupled with her strong foundation in her native language from childhood, meant that although she was a little slow to react, she could roughly tell that this was not a compliment.

Suddenly, her face, with its high cheekbones and upturned eyebrows, darkened. Her ABC (American-born Chinese) status, coupled with her fluent English, would earn her respect wherever she went, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere.

I never expected to be treated like this when I returned to the capital.

Thinking of this, her face grew increasingly grim, and she was about to explode in anger.

Americans don't understand social etiquette and always say what they mean. However, Qi Hui didn't give her a chance to get angry. He turned aside and greeted the newcomers behind him, "Chairman Han, you're here too?"

Snow Zou turned his head and saw that it was Han Sanping.

He immediately took a deep breath, wiped the gloom from his face, and put on a smile instead.

As a director, she certainly knew who Han Sanping was.

Americans don't care much about social niceties, but they do value personal connections.

"You're here." Han Sanping said with a smile, "When you all came back, everyone had their own ideas, except for Guo Fan."

"But I never expected that Guo Fan would be the first person to make a movie. You're progressing a bit slowly, kid."

"Haha, Chairman Han, you flatter me," Qi Hui blurted out.

"Whether it's making movies, TV series, or web series, it's all contributing to the cultural industry."

"TV dramas and web dramas can also meet the growing cultural and spiritual needs of the people."

After saying that, Qi Hui was stunned for a moment.

How could he just say such things?

Upon hearing this, Han Sanping looked at Qi Hui with surprise: "You kid, if you don't act anymore, you can come and be a secretary at China Film Group."

"You're joking," Qi Hui said with an awkward smile.

Oh no, he's caught Kong Sheng's infection!

After a brief chat, Guo Fan arrived, and Qi Hui immediately gave up his seat to Guo.

Xiao Zhang and Tan Songyun chatted and laughed as they entertained the guests who came to support them.

Time passed slowly, and as the movie was about to start, the guests gradually took their seats and fell silent.

After Guo Fan, Gao Xiaosong, and other key members of the production team said a few words, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the movie soon began.

At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist Lin Yi, played by Xiao Zhang, works in a high-rise building in Manhattan, New York. He then receives an invitation from his ex-girlfriend and begins to reminisce.

Their meeting during elementary school transfers, and their subsequent switch from science to humanities in middle school for love.

Then, during the two months leading up to the college entrance exam, the protagonist, Lin Yi, unfortunately underperformed and ended up at Xiamen University.

This is the result of studying hard for the sake of love. The previous protagonist, Lin Yi, had poor grades and didn't even want to study, sleeping in class.

To encourage him to study, the female lead even offered him the temptation of becoming her girlfriend if he got into the same university.

I have to say, the screenwriter for this part is a bit dim-witted.

He underperformed, and then he still got into Xiamen University?

Xiamen University has been unfairly maligned.

That's true. Gao Xiaosong is just someone who dropped out of university and graduated from high school, so his understanding of the college entrance examination is limited to that.

No wonder Guo Fan looked distressed whenever the movie script and screenwriter were mentioned.

Let's get back to the movie's plot.

The male and female protagonists begin their romantic relationship after entering university.

During the Yugoslav Wars in 1999, the two held hands; during the Shenzhou II launch in 2001, the 9/11 attacks, and during the SARS outbreak in 2003, they eloped despite everything, and even received a major demerit...

This series of scenes made the filmmakers present very excited; this director is a real talent!
Youth romance movies, with their various early romances, love triangles, pregnancies, abortions, and studying abroad, have been filmed to death!

Guo Fan, however, takes a refreshing approach to these clichéd narratives by choosing to interweave current social issues and political news from that era.

In an instant, the film and television professionals present slapped their thighs in amazement; they had found a new way to shoot romance films.

Guo Fan, this director is a fucking genius!
Among the crowd, Snow Zou was equally excited. He immediately pulled out his notebook and began writing furiously, with English words appearing one after another on the page.

Inspiration is like a burst of semen; it comes and goes without stopping it!

That's how she feels right now.

She knows how to write a script for her romantic movies, and she knows how to proceed!
