Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

Chapter 56: Talking about the script around the fire, Tang Wei arrives!

Back on set of The Four Great Constables, Mingbei focused on acting while diligently studying the scriptwriters' insights.

Now he's like a sponge, diligently absorbing knowledge and rapidly enriching his screenwriting skills.

Although there is a system, we can't rely on the system alone; this system isn't the Deep Blue type that adds points to.

Sometimes you have to put in some effort; you can't just be a couch potato waiting for your ex-girlfriend to give you something.

If I can't find a girlfriend...

Hmm, that situation shouldn't happen.

"Have you noticed that Mingbei has changed a bit?"

The others noticed Mingbei's change; he hadn't been so engrossed in watching the film set before.

Now, he's holding a paper document whose contents he doesn't know, as if he's about to bury himself in it.

"No, what is he looking at?"

"That wasn't a movie script either. Besides, he usually memorizes the script before filming!"

Seeing Mingbei's appearance, Deng Chao finally couldn't resist his curiosity and went over to stand behind him to take a peek.

Ok?

After seeing it clearly, Deng Chao became even more confused.

At first glance, the above content seems to be some insights and experiences about screenwriting.

However, some of the words were not very easy to understand, such as "咁、佢、掂、呢度" and other unfamiliar words.

Overall, it left him feeling a little confused.

After a moment's hesitation, Deng Chao reached out and patted Mingbei on the shoulder.

"Hey bro, what are you looking at?"

Mingbei looked up from the document, stretched his neck, turned around and saw Deng Chao, then explained,

"Oh, I'm learning screenwriting skills and building a complete screenwriting and directing system..."

After he finished speaking, Deng Chao was even more puzzled.

"Wait, bro, aren't you a performing arts major? Why did you suddenly decide to go into directing?"

"Are you going to get two degrees from the Shanghai Theatre Academy?!"

Some schools allow double degrees, as long as you meet the credit requirements.

But for Mingbei, it seems unnecessary.

To outsiders, as long as he manages his identity as an actor well, his future is already limitless!

Why bother with these behind-the-scenes jobs?

Isn't that just being bored out of your mind?

"Interest, interest!"

Seeing Mingbei's smiling explanation, Deng Chao glanced down at the documents in his hand.

"Then why are there parts of this that I don't quite understand?"

"Oh, that's normal," Mingbei replied calmly.

"These are Stephen Chow's own reflections, mostly written in Cantonese, unlike the formal style of traditional textbooks..."

what?

As soon as he finished speaking, even more people gathered around!

There's no other reason than that this involves Stephen Chow, and the things Mingbei has are personally passed down by Stephen Chow.

"Besides going to the audition, you also stole something from his company last time?"

"That's right, now you see, you're all accomplices, and your crimes are unforgivable!"

"..."

"No," Deng Chao said, utterly astonished.

"Didn't you say when you came back that you didn't get the role, and at most you might only have a simple cameo?"

"Yes," Mingbei nodded.

"But that doesn't conflict with Stephen Chow's desire to pass on his life's work to me!"

He said I'm too handsome, too flashy, and that he needs to do something behind the scenes to temper my arrogance!

Jiang Yiyan said in a resentful tone, "You believe him? Men are the biggest liars, especially handsome men~"

Ever since she was subtly rejected last time, she seems to have harbored some resentment, and sometimes she even feels a bit bitter.

"I don't quite agree with that," Deng Chao replied seriously.

"Look at me, how often do I lie..."

"No problem, because you're not handsome."

"Snap!"

Deng Chao was petrified, as if struck by lightning!

Even if he's not a top-tier handsome man, he feels he has regular features and a certain charm.

I never expected that people would say I'm not handsome!

That's absolutely heartbreaking!

"Whether Brother Chao is handsome or not is unimportant," Mingbei waved his hand and said.

"The important thing is that this is truly Stephen Chow's personal insight, the kind that's not shared with outsiders!"

At this moment, Chen Jia heard their conversation and came over to check on the situation.

He's quite familiar with Stephen Chow; they've collaborated several times, and it's always been quite harmonious.

After only a few quick glances, Chen Jiajia was basically certain.

The document in Mingbei's hand does indeed look like it was written by Stephen Chow.

After all, his style is extremely rare and has a very distinctive personal style.

"I'm not surprised you got this insight," but Chen Jiajia was still puzzled.

"But why did you suddenly become interested in directing?"

Now that things had come to this, Mingbei didn't hide his feelings and laughed.

"I recently had some ideas, so I'm planning to produce a film myself. You could say I'm cramming for it at the last minute!"

Eh?

His explanation only made everyone more confused!

Liu Yifei spoke first, "You're going to direct your own movie?"

Deng Chao followed up, "You want to direct your own movie?"

Jiang Yiyan followed suit, "You're going to direct your own movie?"

Prince Ji, "You want to..."

"Stop!"

Mingbei immediately reached out Erkang's hand to stop him from saying anything more.

"Are you guys parrots? How come you're all repeating the exact same things one after another!"

Prince Ji was interrupted halfway through his sentence, and had to hold back the rest of his words. He was very uncomfortable, baring his teeth and crossing his arms, looking quite depressed.

"No, you guys seem to think it's strange that I did this," Mingbei said, now it was his turn to be puzzled.

"It's just trying out scriptwriting and leading a production, what's the big deal?"

"Don't senior students majoring in directing also have to make their own film to graduate?"

That being said, Mingbei is only a freshman now, and...

He's not a directing major; he's clearly an acting major!

"Um, may I ask what type of script it is?"

Although Chen Jia was puzzled, he still asked the key question.

"The core is suspense, yes, but we'll add some extra elements..."

"The logic of suspenseful stories is very strong," Chen said, his surprise growing even more pronounced.

"Is your first work this difficult?"

Mingbei grinned, "I love challenges!"

"Do you have a plot outline yet?"

"In my mind."

"Well, good luck then!"

Clearly, Chen Jiajia felt that Mingbei might just want to try something new.

Perhaps acting isn't very challenging for him, so he simply takes on more responsibility.

It's someone else's choice, and he can't interfere.

Moreover, Mingbei didn't interfere with the crew's normal filming schedule. He was allowed to do whatever he wanted in his spare time, as long as it wasn't illegal.

However, things quickly developed in a way that exceeded Chen Jiajia's expectations.

After reading screenwriter's notes for a few days, Mingbei began to work on the script.

Subsequently, Deng Chao was drawn in and would go to his room every night to help improve the script!

After that, even Liu Yifei was taken along to sit around the fire and discuss the script!

That wasn't all. Two days later, a very unexpected girl arrived on set.

"You, you're Tang Wei?"
