The script they were peeking at was clearly the same one from their previous life, "Detective Chinatown".

Mingbei has watched the movie quite a few times.

A friend of mine once dragged her to the movies several times to woo a girl, and they were so tired of watching them that they almost threw up!

The reason for this is simply to show off in front of girls.

Get the information in advance and thoroughly understand the logic of the movie, so that when you watch it with a girl, you can have a great conversation and be confident in your abilities.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end, but it left a particularly deep impression on Mingbei, especially the logic of the case.

Of course, once you see how the story unfolds, it's actually quite easy to understand.

However, details were needed to fill in the plot of the entire movie, so Mingbei gathered a group of people, brainstormed ideas, and worked together to see if they could write a complete script.

At first, Deng Chao was very interested in joining, and then Ming Bei also took the opportunity to persuade Liu Yifei.

"Would you like to experience a storyline that breaks through from scratch?"

Then she joined in with great enthusiasm and was incredibly passionate!

Liu Yifei is very passionate about acting, but she hasn't really tried writing storylines much.

In her view, that was something outside her field, and something she wasn't good at.

However, Mingbei said that if he could write scripts, he could also set up a production team and would not be restricted by others too much in the future.

This really hit her weak spot. After offending that company, the so-called "soft blacklist" prevented her from getting many good roles.

Big-budget productions by mainland Chinese directors seem to be excluded.

I never imagined that I could create this path on my own.

Now that Mingbei has cleared away the fog and pointed out the way, he instantly shines!

Moreover, the clash of ideas and the sparks generated by the plot's impact are enough to send adrenaline soaring and blood pumping!

After filming, she usually stays in her room.

But after Mingbei invited her, she attended almost every night!

After Mingbei set the stage, Liu Yifei spoke first.

"In the previous discussion, you suggested that the two of them actually worked together to make the other's 'father' disappear, thus freeing both students from the clutches of evil!"

"but,"

She frowned and said slowly,

"If it's released in mainland China, will it be subject to censorship and affect the issuance of the imperial edict?"

A group of people were sitting in the room, including Liu Yifei, Deng Chao, Jiang Yiyan, Tang Wei, Fang Anna who played the butterfly, Zou Zhaolong, and Prince Ji.

Prince Ji only came to visit when he had nothing else to do. He didn't usually speak much and mostly listened.

At this moment, after Liu Yifei finished speaking, many people present nodded.

"That's right," Deng Chao replied.

"If the setting is too dark, and the characters are students, then this story won't pass censorship easily..."

Although this setting is placed in the final plot twist, it will not affect the direction of the earlier plot.

But judging from the results, it's clear that Sino has a dark side.

It could even be described as extremely profound!

Although this profundity was also influenced by external forces.

"The fact that Sino is the ultimate killer will not change," Mingbei slowly shook his head.

"However, we can make it less obvious in the plot, and with the foreshadowing in the early stages, we can weaken her dark side!"

"As for Songpa's son,"

After a moment of contemplation, Mingbei said,

"We won't emphasize the rest; we'll leave a vague hint and let the audience figure it out..."

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed thoughtful, thinking that the idea seemed feasible.

By not emphasizing it and leaving room for interpretation, the darkness can be softened while also piquing the audience's interest.

Of course, most viewers might just be there for entertainment, and the twist at the end might surprise them.

Deep thinking doesn't concern itself with so many other things.

Isn't the point of watching movies to have fun?

"A combination of suspense and comedy does sound quite interesting," Prince Ji rarely spoke up.

"I've seen quite a few suspense novels in Hong Kong, but the overall style is either serious mystery or has a touch of thriller!"

"So actually, the barrier to entry for watching this movie is a bit high!"

But if you add comedy, it becomes more entertaining, attracting more viewers and naturally increasing box office revenue.

When Mingbei proposed this idea, it certainly surprised them.

"Therefore, the case setup shouldn't appear overly complicated, as that would negatively impact the viewing experience for the average viewer," Tang Wei finally chimed in, offering his opinion.

"A simple theft case leads to a subsequent murder case; the logic here needs to be interconnected layer by layer..."

Before coming, she had already learned about the plot outline, the main structure, and the main character settings.

Now everyone is expressing their own opinions, and there is no superior-subordinate relationship between them. Tang Wei also described his own thoughts.

In no time, as soon as one person finished speaking, someone else would immediately chime in with their own ideas.

Regardless of whether the ideas are practical or not, such an atmosphere can greatly inspire creative desires!

Mingbei also bought recording equipment in advance to record their discussions every night, and then sorted out the useful ideas and suggestions in his spare time.

This collaborative, fireside chat approach is completely different from the feeling of creating in isolation.

"Alright, it's already 10:30!"

After some time, Mingbei checked the time and stopped everyone from continuing their conversation.

Even though they are in high spirits now, Mingbei usually doesn't schedule the conversation to go too late so as not to affect the filming the next day.

Otherwise, the director would probably come and talk to him.

Furthermore, letting the idea be suppressed and fermented a little longer might just unleash an even more intense force.

Mingbei got up, preparing to see them off one by one.

"Oh, right," he suddenly remembered something as he walked.

"I'll calculate the screenwriter's fee according to the market rate, and when the movie is released, everyone will be credited!"

For him, these were minor matters and wouldn't cost much money.

But it represents his respect for the providers of creative ideas.

Since you've put in the effort, you should definitely receive the corresponding compensation.

This actually has its advantages, namely, it allows for the recruitment of more people to help with promotion.

However, screenwriters in China generally do not receive any preferential treatment, and their fees are not very high.

Now several people are coming to share it, but it seems like they won't get much money.

Except for Tang Wei, everyone else waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they hadn't contributed much and it wasn't appropriate for them to share the screenwriter's money.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The main framework was proposed by Mingbei, and he also perfected many of the details.

Others focused more on whether the plot arrangement was reasonable.

In terms of core content, it didn't make much of a contribution.

I feel bad about letting them split the money.

Mingbei smiled and said he wasn't in a hurry.

Anyway, he'll eventually pay me back.

After seeing the others off, Tang Wei stayed behind, his steps hesitant, clearly having something to say.

"What's wrong?" Mingbei asked with a smile upon seeing this.

"So, you're thinking of squeezing in with me tonight?!"
