This director is so innocent.

"have."

Su Jin nodded, then took out the script for "The Coffin in the Mountain" and handed it to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao took the script and saw the words "The Coffin in the Heart" on the cover. He couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder he's an author, he chose a really good name."

Immediately afterwards, he opened the script and began to read it carefully.

After reading only a few pages, he couldn't help but look up at Su Jin, his face filled with surprise.

Seeing this, Su Jin smiled slightly and said smugly, "Aren't you amazed by my talent?"

"Get lost." Ning Hao cursed, then gave up on asking any more questions. He simply couldn't stand Su Jin's smug attitude.

Then, he continued reading the script.

Seeing this, Du Jie was filled with doubt. Could it be that the script was very well written?

He knew that Su Jin could write scripts; when they were filming "Stone," Su Jin had given them a lot of useful suggestions.

I heard he also wrote the script for "Struggle". (A dozen minutes later.)

Ning Hao skimmed through the script, his expression complex.

He knew Su Jin was talented, but he didn't expect her to be this talented.

This script is exceptionally well-written. Using a charred corpse as a starting point, it explores the story from multiple perspectives, breaking down logical and chronological sequences to interweave and reveal the human desires of a group of characters...

In terms of its concept, this script is even better than his "Stone".

"What should I do? I really love this script!"

Ning Hao considered for a moment, then slowly said, "Su Jin, how do you feel about your current skills?"

Su Jin thought for a moment and decided it was better to be modest, so she said, "It's alright! I can make a movie without any problem."

"You overestimate yourself. Your skills are okay for a regular movie, but you can't handle this one. Let me do it."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin was slightly taken aback, then retorted without hesitation, "Get lost."

If it's given to Ning Hao, what will he film?

He racked his brains, lost countless brain cells, and risked writing several filler chapters to come up with this movie.

Du Jie looked at Ning Hao in surprise. How good must the script be? That Ning Hao would shamelessly steal it.

He snatched the script from Ning Hao's hand and started reading it.

"Su Jin, I'm really doing this for your own good. At your age, you should be seeing more, learning more, and thinking more." Ning Hao said, seemingly concerned for Su Jin's well-being.

"Get lost, you can't have my script."

Seeing that Su Jin refused again, Ning Hao did not insist and immediately said, "Then I will be the director with you."

There was nothing he could do; it wasn't that he wanted to steal Su Jin's role.

It's not that a director can't wait to come across a good script.

"No, at most I'll let you be the producer." Su Jin refused without even thinking.

Ning Hao is currently a highly sought-after commercial director who specializes in non-linear narrative structures. If you co-direct with him, the media will definitely attribute all the credit to him when the film is released.

Then he became nothing more than a tool or a background character, which was unacceptable.

There's no problem with being the producer; we can also use Ning Hao's fame for publicity.

Seeing Su Jin's resolute tone, Ning Hao knew there was no room for negotiation, but he really loved this script!

Fine, I'll just be the producer!

You can give it a try.

However, getting him to become a producer won't be that easy.

"I'm not going to be a producer, I'm going to be a director."

"What a load of crap, you can only be a producer."

"If you want me to be a producer, you have to write me a script that's as good as 'The Coffin in the Mountain'."

OK!

He always said that!

Even if Ning Hao really liked the script, he wouldn't be so greedy.

So that's what they were waiting for me!

If Ning Hao knew what Su Jin was thinking, he would definitely chuckle and think, "Little brother, you've overestimated my bottom line."

I only asked for the script because I saw you weren't willing to negotiate.

If there's anything to discuss, why would I need a script?

A painted cake is no match for a real cake.

"Writing a script for you is not out of the question, but not now. I'll have to wait until next year."

"It's okay, just write it for me." Ning Hao paused, then asked hopefully, "Could you write a non-linear narrative structure?"

"Holy crap...you actually picked one?"

"I'm only doing this because you're so talented! Ordinary scripts are no match for your status as a great talent; that would be an insult to you."

"Get lost..." Su Jin was speechless. This bastard was actually flattering him.

Ning Hao has developed a thick skin from years of seeking investment, and he doesn't care at all. Instead, he said, "I can leave, but do you still want me as a producer?"

"No more, get out, get out..."

"Su Jin, you're kicking me while I'm down."

"I'm not going to demolish the bridge. I haven't even crossed the river yet, so how could I be demolishing the bridge?"

"you……"

"Stop with the 'you, you, you'... I'll give you the script next year, and lend me your team for a bit."

"Then I want a script with a non-linear narrative structure."

"I remember last year in Chongqing, you took me to get a foot massage, right? I'm sure Sister Na would be interested in this."

"Bullshit, you're the one who took me there. Besides, I just washed my feet."

"Really? If I remember correctly, that bathhouse was supposed to be a foot massage parlor!"

"Stop talking, bro, I'll just call you bro, okay?"

"About the team?"

"Take it."

At this point, Du Jie finally finished reading the script. As an excellent cinematographer, he had the ability to judge the quality of a script.

This script is very well written, excellent, outstanding.

He saw a lot of things in there.

On a smaller scale, there are issues like family ties, extramarital affairs, domestic violence, and local gangsters.

Looking deeper, there are issues such as class discrimination, the loss of rural labor, and the emotional ties of left-behind families.

In terms of plot, it combines suspense and thrills, with twists and turns in the story. The story is both mind-bending and captivating through flashbacks, interludes, and plot twists.

Narratively, it employs a multi-narrative approach, using three interwoven stories to deeply depict human nature when the truth is concealed and one's own desires are revealed.

At the same time, it also reveals the weak legal awareness and absurd disregard for life in backward rural areas under the transformation of civilization.

If Su Jin knew what he was thinking, she would definitely exclaim "666" (a Chinese internet slang term for awesome/amazing)...

He copied—no, scratch that, borrowed from this movie—entirely because he valued its high-brow image and its multi-narrative structure.

For a new director to become famous, their first film cannot be conventional; it must either be highbrow or commercial, and cannot be somewhere in between.

As for the film's deeper meaning or significance, that's secondary.

"Su Jin, is the end credits just to pass censorship?" Du Jie asked.

End credits: The following day, Xiao Weiguo brought his son to the police station to turn himself in, truthfully recounting everything that had happened in the past few days. Based on the information gathered, the police arrested other related suspects…

"Yes." Su Jin nodded.

Whether in the US or domestically, the principle of good people surviving and bad people being punished is a universal value.

Although Xiao Zongyao killed Baihu by mistake, he still committed murder.
