You were asked to write a political intrigue drama, but you wrote "Da Ming 1566".

"Didn't Chen Yu know that there were many points to write about in this plot, enough to make it a separate script?" "Impossible. He came up with it. He must have known, but he didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he decisively detonated the plot to destroy the dike and flood the fields."

"If I had to explain it, it would be... compared to what he really wanted to portray in 'The Ming Dynasty,' the destruction of dikes and flooding of fields are nothing!"

If Chen Yu knew what Teacher Shuping was guessing at this moment, he would definitely show admiration.

He truly deserves to be called a pillar of the screenwriting world. Even though he has now retired from the forefront of the industry due to lack of energy, his insight is far beyond what any top screenwriter can match.

Indeed, no screenwriter would pass up the idea of ​​destroying dikes and flooding fields. They would write about it extensively, turning it into a treacherous process where various parties would outwit and outmaneuver each other over the matter.

Unfortunately, within the scope of the script for "Ming Dynasty," this event is insignificant. The breaching of the dikes and flooding of the fields is merely a prelude.

Through it, the truth about the Ming Dynasty's treasury deficit was exposed, the ugly face of the feudal dynasty's land annexation was revealed, and Hai Rui's incomparably sharp sword was also revealed, leading to Hai Rui's famous memorial that went down in history as the most outspoken memorial in the world!

Compared to Hai Rui's blunt statement to Jiajing, "Jiajing, Jiajing, every household is clean," which told the self-proclaimed sage emperor that he was far inferior to Emperor Wen of Han and caused Jiajing to bleed from the nose, the shock of destroying dikes and flooding fields was indeed insignificant.

Teacher Shuping's ability to guess that the true theme of "The Ming Dynasty" would be far grander than the destruction of dikes and flooding of fields demonstrates his foresight. However, others at this moment did not have such vision. Chen Yu decisively ignited the scene of destroying dikes and flooding fields at the end of the eleventh act, which naturally caused the popularity in the live broadcast room to soar again, breaking the previous record once more.

However, most professionals shook their heads, either with regret or schadenfreude. One person muttered a judgment: "The Ming Dynasty has been poorly written."

"I really didn't expect this. After the tenth act, when the conspiracy to destroy the dike and flood the fields came to light, I thought this script was going to be a masterpiece." "As long as he writes slowly and writes about destroying the dike and flooding the fields, Chen Yu will definitely be the first place winner in this round, and the value of the script of 'The Ming Dynasty' will definitely skyrocket."

"But I really didn't expect that when everyone thought it was a sure thing, Chen Yu would actually mess it up?" "The eleventh scene detonated the conspiracy, which was satisfying and unexpected, but how was he going to write the rest? What plot could be more explosive than destroying the dike and flooding the fields?"

"If we ignite the climax of the whole show now, the rest of the plot will plummet. Tsk, this mistake is really fatal."

The film industry representative who had previously held a negative view of "Ming Dynasty" turned ashen-faced when he saw the scene of the dike being destroyed and the fields flooded.

At that time, he was already trying to persuade the company to cooperate, and he was even preparing to report to the company to try and win over the script "Da Ming Dynasty," which was likely to become a legendary series.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of. But now, his expression suddenly became relaxed, and he looked at Qin Lan with a somewhat strange look. "President Qin really has a good eye. You almost won by offering ten million." "It's a pity that Chen Yu ruined this script. The plot will probably plummet from here on out." "Only the first ten acts are truly useful. The rest will have to be drastically revised. At most, it'll be worth three million."

Qin Lan, however, didn't seem to care at all, instead replying with a hint of mockery, "Is that so?"

"Is 'Ming Dynasty' now worth three million?"

"How come I remember you said before that this notebook was worth at most 300,000, and that it would only go down? Now it has increased tenfold, so I made a profit."

Then, amidst the stunned expressions of the representative from the leading film company and the shock of the entire audience, Qin Lan said to the production team, "I personally want to donate two million yuan to 'Ming Dynasty' through the fan donation channel. Please add it for me, and I will transfer it later."

"Also, I remember that even before the bidding stage, if a film and television industry representative felt a script had great potential, they could submit a bid in advance to compete, right?"

"Yesterday I offered ten million for 'Ming Dynasty,' but today I feel that's far from enough. Xiangyu Pictures offered fifteen million. We welcome the competition."

After Qin Lan finished speaking, the scene erupted in chaos. The film industry representatives stared at her as if she were a madwoman. "The price has gone up again?"

"A five million increase? And she also tipped two million in her own name, which is equivalent to an extra seven million?" "If this price were before Chen Yu detonated the dam and flooded the fields, I think it would be barely acceptable. It wouldn't be particularly profitable, but it wouldn't be particularly unprofitable either. For Encounter Pictures, which wants to break into the top tier of film companies, it is indeed an opportunity."

"But now, according to Chen Yu's writing style, the entire script has fallen apart, and the later plot can be said to be worthless. If we want to make use of the first ten acts, we will probably have to hire a top screenwriter to help rewrite it, which will cost a lot."

"The three million mentioned before was an overstatement, but Qin Lan actually increased the price by that much in one go? Her gambling spirit is too great."

A group of film industry representatives shook their heads; no one was willing to be a sucker and compete with Qin Lan for a ruined script.

"Instead of continuing to focus on 'Ming Dynasty,' we should pay more attention to the scripts of the other contestants. There are some promising talents among them."

At this moment, the other contestants also felt a sense of relief, as if they had been given a second chance. They had all thought they were doomed, destined to become stepping stones for "The Ming Dynasty." All their previous actions seemed like those of clowns, easily trampled under Chen Yu's feet.

But now, seeing the ending of the eleventh act of "Ming Dynasty", they naturally realized that the plot had "collapsed", and everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never expected that Chen Yu would write such a godlike tenth act. At that time, I thought I had completely become a clown, but I collapsed in the eleventh act, which was easier."

"No matter what, it's a failure, it's a failure. Phew, I can finally relax." At this moment, after finishing the eleventh scene, Chen Yu took a moment to look at the comments from the "Creator Competition" and also glanced at the live streams of the other contestants.

When he saw the relieved expressions on everyone's faces, and the film industry representatives insisted that the plot of "Ming Dynasty" had completely collapsed, a playful smile slowly appeared on Chen Yu's face.

"It's crashed?"

"Where do you get the audacity to draw such absurd conclusions with your shallow and narrow-minded perspectives? The main characters of 'The Ming Dynasty' haven't even officially appeared yet!"

"Forget it, expecting them to understand the plot of 'The Ming Dynasty' with their limited perspective is just asking the impossible." Chen Yu shook his head slightly, a sneer playing on his lips.

He knew perfectly well that the upcoming scene would feature the famous line from the TV series "Da Ming Dynasty," spoken by Yang Jinshui himself: "Some things don't weigh much on the scale, but once you put them on, they're worth a thousand pounds!"

The clarity and insight of this line can even directly encapsulate the core essence of the power struggles in the officialdom of half of "Ming Dynasty," which is the difference between "being weighed" and "not being weighed"—what can be weighed and what absolutely cannot!

In my previous life, almost every compilation of classic lines from "The Ming Dynasty" included this iconic line.

A confident smile unconsciously spread across Chen Yu's face.

"You keep saying my plot is ruined, so how would you react if I uttered this line that would go viral?"

"If I told you that every chapter in this story will have countless memorable scenes that go viral, how would you react?"

"After the plot of destroying the dike and flooding the fields, the real show of 'The Ming Dynasty' is just beginning to get better." "What's more..." Chen Yu's eyes were filled with barely suppressed anticipation and excitement.

"The scenario of breaching dikes and flooding fields has already unfolded, so how far away can the day when Hai Rui officially makes his debut be?!"

The moment Chen Yu thought of Hai Rui, a dazzling light flashed in his eyes.

If before Hai Rui officially appeared, "Da Ming Dynasty" was merely a dark drama depicting the intrigue and backstabbing in officialdom, filled with gloomy power struggles from top to bottom...

Therefore, Hai Rui's appearance was like a thunderclap, a beam of light, cleaving through the dark night. The core and theme of the entire drama were thus completely elevated!

Before Hai Rui officially took office, the situation in Zhejiang was already in complete chaos, with various forces intertwined and deeply entrenched, each with their own interests intertwined with the others.

The development of this plot is always a delicate matter, requiring meticulous planning and preparation.

Even though Chen Yu had already memorized the entire content of "Da Ming Dynasty" to the core, he still had to be extra careful and vigilant, for fear of overlooking any crucial details.

So Chen Yu slowly closed his eyes, letting each frame and line of dialogue from "The Ming Dynasty" unfold clearly in his mind.

Just as Chen Yu closed his eyes and concentrated on sorting out the plot, many people who witnessed this scene breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease.

For example, those people who just now confidently asserted that Chen Yu had completely ruined the plot of "The Ming Dynasty".

No matter how confident they appeared on the surface, deep down they were always uneasy about Chen Yu's previous outstanding performances and the scene of his complete outburst in the eleventh act.

They had to admit that Chen Yu's talent had far exceeded their initial expectations.

Even though he spoke with absolute certainty and confidence, deep down he still felt a little uneasy.

But now, seeing Chen Yu with his eyes closed, deep in thought, looking like he was stuck on the plot and couldn't continue writing, the lingering unease in their hearts finally vanished completely.

Even if Chen Yu is a genius or a prodigy, this look of him deep in thought with his eyes closed can't be faked, right?

Moreover, judging from Chen Yu's furrowed brows from time to time, as if he were racking his brains to think about something, anyone could tell that he probably really couldn't handle the upcoming plot and would write it in a mess.

Just then, in the office of Xiangyu Pictures, Mr. Li, who had just called the florist to have the ordered flower baskets and banners delivered to the circus, hurriedly dialed the florist's number again.

"Hey? I had another meeting and we've reconsidered. I think it's perfectly fine for me to take over as CEO."

"Hurry up and get those flower baskets I ordered right now. Send me the design drawings first; I need the most impressive and classy ones, understand?"

After hanging up the phone, a confident smile slowly crept onto Mr. Li's lips.

"Qin Lan, are you really determined to gamble everything on this newcomer Chen Yu?"

"A full fifteen million! That's enough to buy several well-established scripts by top screenwriters, yet you chose to use it to buy a script by Chen Yu, a newcomer who's just started out."

"What's more, this script is now widely recognized in the industry as a complete mess, and we might have to find a top screenwriter to drastically revise it. Just because of this, the board of directors is starting to question your decision-making ability."

"I'm not incapable of doing what you accomplished before. I just lacked the platform and resources you had. Once I'm the CEO of Xiangyu Pictures, I'll only do better and go further than you!"

"Chen Yu, Chen Yu, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have gotten such a great opportunity to rise to the top?"

In the office of that relevant department, the middle-aged leader who had personally included "The Ming Dynasty" in the list of candidates for study within the system also received a phone call at this moment.

A voice slowly came from the other end of the phone.

"Director Zhao, I'm also paying attention to the script for 'The Ming Dynasty' that you submitted." "However, it's probably not qualified enough to be filmed and included in the list of films for people within the system to watch and learn from."

"Firstly, although the script is very deep, the underlying tone is too dark, with too much scheming and backstabbing, and there isn't a single truly positive character."

"Secondly, based on feedback, the eleventh scene that was just written has a broken plot, right? No matter how well the first ten scenes are written, if it breaks down with just this little bit of content, then there's little hope for the rest. Time is tight, and we can't wait for him to revise it before making the selection."
