"Is he gone?" After Jia Yapeng left, a beautiful woman came out of Zhou Xingxing's room and said with some fear, "Why did you invite him over at this time? What if he finds out about our relationship?"

?”

"You came to my house unexpectedly. I made an appointment with him yesterday!" Zhou Xingxing touched the woman's head lovingly.

"He asked you to make a movie? Is this the script?" The beauty picked up the script from Zhou Xingxing's hand and asked curiously, "How is this script?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it yet!" Zhou Xingxing shook his head.

"Then let me take a look first!" The beauty opened the script directly and found that the first page was actually a list of actors suggested for each role in the script.

The first one is "The male protagonist: Supreme Treasure/Sun Wukong, Mr. Zhou Xingxing is planned to be invited to star!"

Then the second one is "The heroine: Fairy Zixia, we plan to invite Ms. Zhu Yin to star!"

"Oh my God, this boss actually wrote my name on it. I am actually the heroine. He actually wants to invite me to play the heroine. It's so interesting!!!" This beauty couldn't help but look at the script.

Then he started laughing.

You must know that Zhu Yin was not a big star at this time, and her presence in Hong Kong was a bit low. She really did not expect that Jia Yapeng would actually invite her to star in the movie's heroine, which made Zhu Yin suddenly have a feeling.

Very happy feeling.

"Really? It happens to be your name. Could he have discovered something?" Zhou Xingxing's expression was also very surprised.

"You are thinking too much. How could he, a mainlander, know that the two of us are together? Not many people in Hong Kong know!" Zhu Yin said disapprovingly, "I think he just discovered my ability.

That’s why I was invited to play the heroine!”

"Yeah!" Zhou Xingxing nodded and then stopped talking. Zhu Yin probably started working on the script very seriously because he found out that the heroine actually invited him to star.

"This script is so confusing!"

"This story makes no sense, it actually changed Journey to the West like this!"

"Oh my God, the one who fell in love with the spider spirit was not Tang Monk, but Sun Wukong!"

Zhu Yin kept making sounds of surprise as he read the script. Zhou Xingxing shook his head and thought that this script was probably just like that, not a good script.

But unconsciously, Zhu Yin no longer commented, but instead heard a trace of sobbing.

Zhou Xingxing was startled and looked over quickly, only to find that his woman had already burst into tears.

"It's so touching! This story is so touching. Fairy Zixia is so pitiful, and you are such a bad guy, why don't you wake up earlier!!" Zhu Yin suddenly punched Zhou Xingxing's chest with his small fists.

.

"Don't make trouble..." Zhou Xingxing was a little surprised this time. Although Zhu Yin is a more emotional girl, he made Zhu Yin cry just by relying on a script. Could it be that this script is not a comedy, but a tragedy?

Movie?

This suddenly attracted Zhou Xingxing's interest.

"Have you finished reading? Show it to me!" Zhou Xingxing took the script from Zhu Yin's hand and began to read it seriously. This time he watched until it was dark, until about eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xingxing

Only then did he suddenly wake up from the world of the script and found that Zhu Yin had already prepared a sumptuous table of dishes.

"How's it going? Do you want to take this book?" Zhu Yin asked curiously when he saw the man he loved.

"What about you? Do you want to pick it up?" Zhou Xingxing asked.

"Yes!" Zhu Yin nodded vigorously, "First of all, I like this script very much, and I also like Zixia Fairy very much. Also, I want to be the heroine, and I don't want to play a supporting role anymore!"

"It took me eight years to become the leading actor in a movie. It only took you two years. It's really fast!" Zhou Xingxing said with emotion.

"Then will you answer it or not?" Zhu Yin couldn't help but asked again.

"Take it!" Zhou Xingxing nodded, "Although this script is very messy, the story is also very messy, and the ending is still a tragedy. But this is actually the story I want to play!"

As we all know, Zhou Xingxing is an outstanding comedian, but no actor likes to be fixed in the same routine, so Zhou Xingxing also wants to find his own breakthrough. He wants to perform a tragedy, something different from the past.

Different roles, so that you can truly break through yourself.

But Zhou Xingxing is a little afraid. If he changes his character rashly, will the future he has just set sail for be ruined?

And "Westward Journey" perfectly satisfied Zhou Xingxing's needs in this regard. Before the final battle, it was a standard nonsensical comedy movie, but until the end, when Zixia died, the whole story was completed in an instant.

sublimation, turned into an out-and-out tragedy.

So in fact, this is a tragic comedy. It makes people feel stomachache when they are happy and heartbroken when they are sad. Zhou Xingxing wanted to challenge this movie.

"Why do you want to act?" Zhu Yin asked curiously.

"Because I watched Journey to the West when I was a kid, I really hated Tang Seng!" Zhou Xingxing said with a slight smile, "This Tang Seng has no abilities at all and relies entirely on Sun Wukong to protect him. However, he talks too much and uses various tightening spells to torture Sun Wukong.

So I hate Tang Monk very much, and I often think that if I were Sun Wukong, I would definitely find an opportunity to smash Tang Monk’s head with a golden hoop while he was sleeping, so that the whole world would be peaceful!”

"Oh, you are so cruel!" Zhu Yin glanced at Zhou Xingxing with some fear, and Zhou Xingxing patted her on the head and said, "Okay, I'm all lying to you!"

"I want to discuss something with you. It's raining outside. Can't I walk today?" Zhu Yin said softly.

"No, I have to meet that Mr. Jia tomorrow!" Zhou Xingxing said dryly.

"Okay, you have the final say!" Zhu Yin sighed, and after having a meal with Zhou Xingxing, he put on sunglasses and a mask, took a car from the back door of the villa, and sneaked away by himself.

The next day, Jia Yapeng, who was still a little worried, received a call from Zhou Xingxing. As expected, Zhou Xingxing invited Jia Yapeng to dinner at a tea restaurant.

After some polite remarks, Zhou Xingxing said, "Mr. Jia, I wonder how much money you plan to invest in this movie?"

"I don't know, because I haven't calculated the cost of this drama yet, but I can give you 8 words, that is: keep improving, there is no ceiling," Jia Yapeng said.

"Okay, I saw that in your script, you have listed almost all the actors you want to invite for the roles, but the name in the director column has been blacked out by you. I don't know what you plan to invite.

Who will be the director?" Zhou Xingxing asked curiously.

"I originally planned to invite Liu Zhengwei, but he has already rejected me!" Jia Yapeng sighed and said, "I wonder if Mr. Xing has any suggestions?"

"Shall I recommend?" Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm only responsible for acting, I can't recommend anyone!"

"I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested in directing and acting?" Mr. Jia asked again. This was Jia Yapeng's answer after thinking about it for a long time.

In fact, Zhou Xingxing is also an excellent director, which can be seen from his subsequent directing skills. Therefore, when Liu Zhengwei is unwilling to direct, it seems that only Zhou Xingxing is the most suitable.

"I... let it go..." Zhou Xingxing hesitated for a moment and seemed to be a little moved, but finally shook his head and said, "This won't work. I can't be a director. My ability is not enough."

"That's going to be a bit troublesome!" Mr. Jia scratched his head, could he still be trapped by a director's choice?

"Mr. Jia, who is the screenwriter of this script?" Zhou Xingxing suddenly said, "Actually, I think the screenwriter who wrote this script is the best director of this movie."

"Why do you say that?" Mr. Jia was stunned for a moment. It seems that in the original history, Liu Zhengwei was the screenwriter and director.

"Because this doesn't look like a script written by a professional screenwriter, but like a script written by a director!" Zhou Xingxing said, "A normal script only contains lines and scene changes. But this script is a bit unprofessional.

, not only the scenes and lines are written down, but also how to use the camera, which angle to shoot from, how the characters feel, and what actions to take, are all written in the script.”

"I think the person who can write such a script must be an excellent director, because when he writes this script, he already has a complete movie picture in his head. He only needs to film the picture in his mind. This is

He is the best director, there is no need to look for anyone else!" Zhou Xingxing said.

"What if the screenwriter is a non-professional and has no directing experience?" Jia Yapeng couldn't help but ask.

"That's it..." Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment. He thought that the screenwriter himself was a professional director.

"If this is the case, then you can hire an assistant director to help him. Hire a professional assistant director to be responsible for all the specific shooting instructions in the crew, and the director only needs to be responsible for the construction of the pictures and actions. Such a layman

People can quickly adapt to the director's work. In fact, many directors come in from outside the industry like this!" Zhou Xingxing said.

What he said is not wrong. Most directors in Hong Kong did not graduate from vocational colleges. They all learned on the set and became professional directors as they learned.

Some directors just rush to put it on the shelves. After all, when Hong Kong movies were at their most popular, more than 200 movies were released a year. This created a huge demand for directors. How could there be so many professional directors for them to use?

.

After hearing Zhou Xingxing's words, Mr. Jia nodded thoughtfully. It seems that our Mr. Jia can develop a new professional ability again.
