Huayu: A Commercial Director

Chapter 302 Going to the Rose Garden, Old Guo's Script

"I didn't expect you to be so prepared. I'll take the script back with me first, and we'll discuss how to collaborate after the department approves it," Director Tang said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll definitely cooperate," Chen Shouzhe nodded.

Chen Shouzhe would write scripts and draw storyboards when he had time, so he already had quite a few scripts saved up.

They immediately printed out the script using their personal computer, which was disconnected from the internet. Everyone present read the script, but Director Tang and the others did not make a decision immediately. Instead, they took it back to their superiors for instructions.

However, after reading the script, they felt there were no major problems. The movie didn't involve anything bad; the only thing they had to do was coordinate with the warships.

As for international issues, that's simple; it's just a movie.

Chen Shouzhe has global influence, which can be used to promote national prestige.

Director Tang left Jincheng with the script, while Chen Shouzhe sat with Director Wang and others for a while.

"Director Wang, is Jin Dun going to participate?" Chen Shou asked.

"Director Chen is willing to give us a share?" Director Wang asked happily.

"Of course, no problem, maybe not too many," Chen Shou said with a smile.

"That's good. Your movie has a lot of benefits. If this comes to fruition, I'll thank you."

"I also want to thank Director Wang for his guidance."

"You're too kind. Right now, you're the only one in the country with experience in this area. The movie the Air Force made before didn't get much of a response. The Air Force even regretted cooperating with them. They provided convenience, but the movie wasn't very good. It wasn't as good as our operation in northern Myanmar," Director Wang said happily.

"I am still confident about the film."

"Go back and wait for news. It probably won't be that quick; there are some procedures to go through."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Chen Shouzhe didn't stay at Golden Shield for long. The script had already been submitted, and the specifics depended on the instructions from above.

No one would object to this kind of script, and it would only benefit Chen Shouzhe more. However, it might conflict with Journey to the West. If the higher-ups approve it in May, and with the preparation work, it is expected to be filmed at the end of the year.

Filming for Journey to the West is scheduled for June and is expected to last three months. After filming is completed, post-production will begin, and Chen Shouzhe will only have time in September.

The project was officially launched in June, with a three-month preparation period? Filming will take place abroad in September?

"Xiao Fang, please note the time," Chen Shou said to Xiao Fang from inside the car.

"Okay, I've already added the time to your notes," Xiao Fang said.

"Ah."

Xiao Fang's schedule is packed full. The assistant's role is to help the boss remember things, especially business activities.

Chen Shou is very busy. If every day is filled with activities, there are countless awards, banquets, and ceremonies.

He could only choose to attend the important ones, and he couldn't even remember the times himself, so he had Xiao Fang write them down and make them into a memo. He would look at it every day, and some things had to be arranged a week in advance, while others had to be prepared a month in advance.

For movies, you need to plan even earlier, and even coordinate his schedule. If you forget anything, your assistant will be held responsible.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Since he had nothing else to do in the afternoon, Chen Shou asked the driver to turn around and go to the Rose Garden.

"I'll be there in a bit. Are you home?"

"exist."

When the car arrived at the Rose Garden, Chen Shouzhe was surprised to find that, in addition to Yan Danchen, Lao Guo's family was also there.

To be precise, Yan Danchen was playing with her child at Lao Guo's house. After learning that Yan Danchen lived there, Chen Shouzhe's godmother, Wang Hui, went to see Yan Danchen once. As a result, she saw her son. Judging from his appearance, she could tell that he was Chen Shouzhe's son. She then realized that Chen Shouzhe not only had a daughter, but also a son.

The Guo family knew about this, as did Yu Qian and his wife, but none of them told anyone. Knowing that Chen Shou was coming, Yan Danchen deliberately showed him the news by bringing the child over.

"Godfather, Godmother," Chen Shou called out after getting out of the car.

"I've already ordered food, come and eat with us," the godmother said, holding the child.

"father!"

The child, who is over one year old, can recognize people. When he saw Chen Shouzhe, perhaps because they often video chat or because of their blood relationship, he called out to Chen Shouzhe on his own initiative.

"good!"

Chen Shouzhe reached out and the child released Wang Hui's neck and lunged at Chen Shouzhe.

Chen Shou hugged him tightly, supporting the little bottom with one hand.

Old Guo glared at Chen Shouzhe: "Come in."

The group entered the house. Chen Shou was holding the child, who was staring at him and blowing bubbles. Yan Danchen sat beside him, watching them with a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Guo glanced at Chen Shouzhe. His godmother was all smiles, but Mr. Guo's expression was not so good.

"I recently wrote a script, do you have time?" Lao Guo asked.

"What script?" Yan Danchen asked curiously.

"It's a comedy script that I wrote in my spare time, in my study upstairs," Lao Guo said.

"Can I take a look? I want to learn from it," Chen Shou said earnestly.

"Pfft!" My godmother was drinking tea when she suddenly spat it out and coughed, covering her mouth.

Old Guo quickly patted her back and glared at Chen Shouzhe.

Chen Shou is studying his script?

If this gets out, the entire film and entertainment industry will laugh themselves silly.

Guo Degang is known for making bad movies, but what about Chen Shouzhe?
I messed up once, so I learned scriptwriting from him and went crazy.

After calming down a bit, the godmother glared at Chen Shou and said, "Can't you speak properly? You know your godfather's script; it's alright that he's learning from you."

“I’m serious. There’s no end to learning. There’s something to learn from everyone. I learned from my master and godfather when I was little, and I’m where I am today because of what I learned from you all,” Chen Shou said.

"Alright, stop flattering me. Your master would probably think you're going too far if he heard this. Show me the script later. By the way, what brings you here today? Isn't the movie showing?" Old Guo asked.

"I just went to Golden Shield and was thinking of coming here for lunch," Chen Shou said with a smile.

"You didn't call, Danchen came to tell me." Godmother glared at Chen Shouzhe. She said nice things, but she's really grown up and can lie now.

He wasn't like this before. He used to be such an honest kid, but now he's turned into this, keeping a mistress on the side.

They had to cover for him, after all, he was their junior.

Chen Shou glanced at Yan Danchen, who returned a smug smile.

They gathered together for a meal. The adults were full, and the children were probably hungry. Yan Danchen went to make milk powder, the godmother held the child and played with him, while Chen Shouzhe followed Lao Guo to the study in the attic to read scripts.

Guo Degang has been writing scripts all these years. Before he became famous, he earned money by writing scripts and hosting shows to subsidize his crosstalk theater.

After gaining fame, he played supporting roles in many TV dramas and developed a habit of writing scripts.

He also had a dream of making movies, but unfortunately he failed too many times. This time, he mustered up the courage to let Chen Shouzhe see his new script.
