"However, this Theresa is already over forty years old, but she still looks like a twelve-year-old child, which seems to be a very rare physique."
"Uh..." Bai Qianqu was speechless, and could only say that Theresa was destined not to grow tall.
As they talked, they soon arrived near the headquarters of Destiny.
Looking at the massive complex of buildings stretching to the horizon, Bai Qianqu's eyes widened in surprise.
He originally thought that Tianming was at most a large film and television factory, but what he saw before him was endless!
Thunder Dragon Horse seemed to have anticipated Bai Qianqu's reaction, and chuckled, saying, "Surprised, aren't you? I was just as surprised the first time I came here. The Heavenly Mandate Headquarters Film and Television Factory covers an area of 1200 million square meters and is the world's largest factory."
No wonder they were able to film in twelve different areas simultaneously.
Bai Qianqu gained a more concrete understanding of the strength of the Heavenly Mandate. No wonder it is number one in the world; it is indeed rich and powerful.
Thunder Dragon Horse then said, "Alright, we're almost at the door. Stop acting like country bumpkins. We're here representing Anti-Entropy, so keep a low profile."
The two parked their car in a parking space and walked to the main gate, where someone who had been notified was already waiting.
After all, Entropy is a well-known large company, so it has some prestige.
"Excuse me, are you the Minister of Lightning?"
The person in charge of reception was a woman dressed in professional attire who looked very capable.
"It's me." Thunder Dragon immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the other party. "Hello."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Eleanor Shaniat, and I'm President Otto's personal secretary, in charge of this reception." The other party was also very polite, then turned her gaze to Bai Qianqu, "I presume this young man must be Teacher Qu Yin?"
Bai Qianqu also stepped forward and politely shook hands with the other person: "Hello."
Eleanor smiled and said, "I've heard your name dozens of times these past few days, but I didn't expect you to be so young. Your song 'Those Fleeting Years' is very good. Our President Otto also praised you highly and has been wanting to meet you."
Bai Qianqu waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I just came to take a look around, I won't meet you."
Eleanor covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't worry, President Otto is away on a business trip and isn't in the company lately."
Bai Qianqu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid of seeing Otto, either because Otto would beat him to death, or because he couldn't help but kill Otto.
To be on the safe side, it would be best if the two parties did not meet.
"Please follow me." Eleanor gestured "please" and led Bai Qianqu and Lei Dian Longma into the Destiny Headquarters.
The three entered a building, but to Bai Qianqu's surprise, it was not an office building like Anti-Entropy, but rather an indoor stadium. At that moment, a group of people were setting up cameras inside, filming a high platform with a green background.
Eleanor lowered her voice and said, "Minister Thunder, this is the indoor shooting location for our latest movie. Please wait a moment while I go find the director. You two can talk."
"Thank you for your trouble." Thunder Dragon Horse nodded.
Soon, a bald, middle-aged man followed Eleanor over. Eleanor introduced them, saying, "This is Cao Dawei, the director of our film. Mr. Cao, these two are from Anti-Entropy, and they are in charge of composing the theme song for this film. Please tell them if you have any needs. Minister Lei Dian, I have some things to take care of, so I'll have to leave for a while."
"It's ok."
After Eleanor left, the three remaining men stared at each other blankly. Cao Dawei frowned, as if deep in thought. Finally, Lei Dian Long Ma coughed and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Cao Dawei, let's talk about the new movie. Could you give us a brief introduction to the plot?"
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about the script just now." Cao Dawei suddenly realized what was going on and apologized repeatedly. "The script for this movie is such a mess, it's really giving me a headache."
Lei Dian Long Ma looked helpless. As the service provider, the worst thing was to encounter this situation where the client was in a state of chaos. How could they possibly make any useful requests?
"Here's the script, take a look." Soon, Cao Dawei handed over two booklets.
Bai Qianqu took it and flipped through a few pages, raising her eyebrows in surprise.
This plot is so similar to a movie from the original world.
Three love stories, intertwined and interwoven.
He thought about it carefully and finally remembered.
Isn't this "I Belonged to You"?
This format of dividing a movie into three stories can indeed be confusing.
Over there, Raiden Ryoma casually flipped through the script, his brows furrowed. To be honest, he couldn't understand it either.
But he couldn't very well say he didn't understand, could he? So Raiden Ryoma coughed twice and asked, "This seems to be a romance movie?"
“That’s how it is,” Cao Dawei sighed. “Originally, I wanted to use three short stories to highlight a love theme, but now it’s been changed so many times that it’s become a mess. And the ending is supposed to be a tear-jerking breakup scene, but I haven’t figured it out yet.”
"What about the screenwriter?" Raiden Ryoma asked curiously. "Isn't the screenwriter responsible for the movie script?"
“After a moment of silence, Cao Dawei said, “The screenwriter has run away.”
"Huh?" This time, not only Raiden Ryoma, but even Bai Qianqu couldn't help but exclaim.
What movie is it? How could it make the screenwriter run away?
Is it really okay for a movie to have its own theme song written?
"Actually, everything else is easy to handle, it just takes a little more time. The most crucial thing is the ending." Cao Dawei said with a headache, "A memorable ending is the soul of a movie!"
Chapter 64 premiered ahead of schedule
Bai Qianqu thought for a moment, but finally couldn't resist saying, "Well, if you don't mind, I have an idea."
"Oh? You have one?" Cao Dawei and Lei Dian Longma both turned to look at them.
Raiden Ryoma looked puzzled: "Little White, you've studied movie scripts, haven't you?"
"I only know a little bit," Bai Qianqu said modestly. "Could I have some paper and pen? I can write it down."
Cao Dawei quickly handed Bai Qianqu paper and pen. He didn't have any ideas at the moment, so he might as well see what this young man could write. Anyway, it wouldn't do him any harm.
After receiving the paper and pen, Bai Qianqu quickly began writing, and in less than ten minutes, she handed the completed script excerpt to Cao Dawei.
This plot was so classic that he couldn't forget it, and the system didn't seem to be charging him; it looked like he could get it for free.
Moreover, I specifically read the script for this part because of this joke, so I still remember how to write it.
Bai Qianqu chuckled and, without any qualms, enjoyed a free ride on one of the most famous scenes—Yue Yunpeng chasing a car.
Cao Dawei was also surprised and uncertain when he received the script.
He was surprised that the boy could actually write a script, but doubted that the time frame was too short.
Even for a script excerpt, a professional screenwriter has to spend a lot of time scrutinizing it. Not to mention the three major elements of characters, time, and place, there are also a series of elements to consider such as positioning, language, and actions.
What can you write in less than ten minutes?
He turned his gaze to the paper in his hand.
He had only intended to take a casual look, but his eyes quickly widened.
The paper in my hand contained all the elements needed for a script, including set design, stage design, and even detailed descriptions of sound effects!
This is exactly like something written by a professional screenwriter!
If he hadn't seen Bai Qianqu writing it with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether it was written by a professional.
Of course, putting aside these so-called stage elements, what attracted Cao Dawei the most was this part of the plot!
The male lead's humble, subservient image and the female lead's ruthless and cold-blooded image are both vividly portrayed!
He gave money to her and was eventually dumped, yet he still remained so humble and subservient—he's the epitome of a simp!
Cao Dawei couldn't forget the plot after just one viewing, let alone if it were filmed and shown to the audience on the big screen. It would be strange if the audience could forget it!
Isn't this exactly the kind of scene I've always wanted—a scene that will leave a lasting impression on everyone?
Cao Dawei's gaze toward Bai Qianqu became extremely intense.
This young man, so young, can actually write such a script in no time? He's definitely a screenwriting prodigy!
If I could have such a genius under my wing, would I still have to worry about scripts in the future?
He shook Bai Qianqu's hand very warmly: "Young man, the plot you wrote is absolutely fantastic, it's exactly what I wanted! To express my gratitude, I'll buy this plot fragment for 50,000!"
"Fifty thousand?!" Bai Qianqu was shocked. She could earn so much just by writing a few things casually?
"Is that not enough? Then I'll add some more?" Cao Dawei hesitated for a moment, "Eighty thousand! That's my greatest sincerity!"
"Uh, that's enough." Bai Qianqu was both amused and exasperated. What was all this about? She could actually earn 80,000 yuan from a business trip?
Lei Dian Long Ma also had a strange look on his face. He wasn't surprised by Cao Dawei's actions; a good script excerpt could easily sell for 100,000.
He was surprised that Bai Qianqu actually understood scripts and had actually written one.
Cao Dawei chuckled: "Hey young man, I was wondering if you'd be interested in developing a career in the film and television industry? I happen to be short of an editor, what do you think—"
Bai Qianqu was even more dumbfounded. It turned out that this guy actually wanted to poach him. He quickly waved his hand.
"Excuse me, I'm actually a composer."
"A composer?" Cao Dawei was surprised. He looked at Lei Dian Long Ma. "A composer who can also write scripts?"
Raiden Ryoma shrugged: "Don't look at me, I just found out too, and this guy definitely won't be your screenwriter, he's our company's rising star."
Cao Dawei didn't give up. He took out a business card and handed it to Bai Qianqu: "Just because you don't want to be a screenwriter now doesn't mean you won't want to be one in the future. Here's what we'll do: young man, if you ever have any thoughts about changing careers in the future, come find me. I'll be waiting for you anytime."
After a few polite exchanges, Eleanor finally returned, but judging from her hurried appearance and the document in her hand, she clearly had something to do.
As soon as she arrived, Eleanor said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you both waiting."
“It’s nothing,” Raiden Ryoma’s gaze fell on the folder in Eleanor’s hand. “This is—”
"Let's go to the conference room."
Eleanor led the two to an empty conference room and got straight to the point: "I originally invited you two here today to discuss the latest theme song, but I just received instructions from the company that the new movie may have to be released earlier. The movie, which was originally scheduled for two months later, will be released next month!"
"Released next month?" Raiden Ryoma's eyes narrowed. "Doesn't that mean Xiaobai's theme song will also be released next month?"
“Yes.” Eleanor nodded.
"Next month is October!" Raiden Ryoma frowned. "The competition for the songs will be fierce!"
"I know," Eleanor said, somewhat embarrassed, clearly aware of the War of the Lesser Gods. "It's just that this is our superiors' decision, you see—"
Thunder Dragon Horse pondered for a moment, then finally looked at Bai Qianqu: "Little Bai, what do you think?"
Bai Qianqu was also caught off guard. He had originally planned to be a bystander next month, but how did he suddenly get notified that he had to join the battle?
But now that things have come to this, there's no use backing down. We can't just give up because we're afraid, can we?
He took a deep breath: "Then send it."
He also wanted to know how effective the song "Those Bygone Years" would be in the battle of the minor gods!
