Hong Kong Entertainment: The top class starts with great writers

Guo Yunchen's eyes fell on another script on the edge of the table, which was Pei's script for "Butterfly Lovers" this time.

It's a bit ridiculous to say that in his previous competition with the Pei family, he focused on being honest and disdainful of using petty tactics. Even several uncles said that he was too upright and not the way to do business.

As a businessman, you should do whatever it takes.

The subtext of the uncles is actually saying that he is stupid, but he understands.

But for him, making movies is not only a means of making money, but also a way to fulfill his dream.

He didn't want his beautiful dream to have an undue shadow.

Until the last time, Pei Laoliu personally shattered his dream.

Guo Yunchen also didn't expect that after learning from his experience, Cao Chuang's information department would be so powerful that they directly obtained Pei's script.

According to the assistants, the process of getting it is very simple!
I directly found a small role in the crew of "Butterfly Lovers" and was paid 100 yuan plus some copying fees. It was a no-brainer.

To be honest, Guo Yunchen now regrets what he was doing in the past few years!
Guo Yunchen sighed softly and picked up Pei's "Butterfly Lovers" script again. The script was very simple. There were only two big characters "Butterfly Lovers" on the cover, and two small ink butterflies next to the characters were the only embellishments.

Under the cover, there is another line of small words, screenwriter: Qin Dao.

Guo Yunchen's eyes fell on the word "Qin Dao" and did not move for a long time. Pei Yuanyang was really lucky to have many talents under his command.

If the Pei Brothers Pictures could be compared to a dynasty, then the emperor Pei Yuanyang would have the military commander Li Wenxiang on the outside, the prime minister Qin Dao on the inside, and Zou Wenhuan, the general manager on the inside!
Fortunately, he has now successfully instigated a general of the Pei family!
Guo Yunchen opened the cover and read ten lines at a glance. He had read it twice before and read it for the third time. He was still amazed by Pei's "Butterfly Lovers".

According to folklore, Liang Shanbo was just a stupid goose. From the beginning to the end, he did not know about Zhu Yingtai's daughter, otherwise he would not have the famous Duan Shiba to show her off.

The wonderful thing about this "Butterfly Lovers" is that Liang Shanbo already knew Zhu Yingtai's identity and tried every means to make her embarrassed!
For example, Liang Shanbo frequently invited Zhu Yingtai to bathe with him, and also asked her to go out with him, which was extremely ambitious.

Then, when Ma Wencai accidentally broke into Zhu Yingtai's daughter and became crazy about it, Liang Shanbo jumped out again and became a big stumbling block in Ma Wencai's pursuit of beauty!

In the script, every scene where the three of them appear together is full of bloodshed. Even the people watching are embarrassed for them and can't help but want to keep watching.

Guo Yunchen can fully imagine how the audience will be transfixed and smile knowingly when they see the famous scene of the three people appearing together after this "Butterfly Lovers" is made into a movie.

The most amazing thing is the ending.

This version of "Butterfly Lovers" follows the ending of the folk legend with slight changes.

Legend has it that Liang Shanbo went to the Zhu family to propose marriage, but he was a step too late. He could only hold hands with Zhu Yingtai and look at each other with tears in his eyes. They made a promise that they would live in different quilts and die in the same acupuncture point.

But if it were written like this, it would be inconsistent with the sinister character of Liang Shanbo in the script.

Screenwriter Qin Da simply made a clever move and changed it to the academy. After Liang Shanbo passed the imperial examination and became the magistrate of Luang County, he was about to go to the Zhu family to propose marriage, but at this time he contracted the cold.

Liang Shanbo felt deeply that he was about to die soon, so he took the initiative to write a heartless letter to Zhu Yingtai, saying that his family was poor and his background was shallow. In order to gain a foothold in officialdom, he specifically asked to marry the daughter of Shangfeng.

Please take good care of your sister, Wang Yingtai. If it is convenient, you can take a detour to Luancheng when you get married. He will take his newlywed wife and send her off in person.

He also wrote a handwritten letter to Ma Wencai, wishing his father love and wealth, and that he had rejected his marriage proposal. He asked Ma Wencai to be sure not to pass through Luancheng when he married Yingtai's sister, and not to let him, a sad person, see it!
Later, Liang Shanbo fell seriously ill. On his deathbed, he told his family that he would be buried beside the official road. It didn't matter whether the tomb was built in a grand manner or not. The tombstone must be big enough, and the words "Liang Shanbo's Tomb" on it must be eye-catching. You can see clearly from ten miles away!
After doing these three things, Liang Shanbo laughed three times and left with a smile on his face.

When Zhu Yingtai got married, Ma Wencai proudly led the wedding procession around Luancheng. By the time he saw the tombstone, it was already too late.

Zhu Yingtai jumped into the tomb, and two colorful butterflies flew out. Ma Wencai was in a trance, and seemed to see Liang Shanbo dressed as a scholar hugging the shy Zhu Yingtai, turning around and smiling at him.

……

This Liang Shanbo——

It is quite a legacy of Mr. Zhuge.

Couldn't be more endearing!
Guo Yunchen closed the script and sighed again. If Pei's "Butterfly Lovers" is regarded as an enemy, and what he has to do is to find the enemy's flaws and defeat him, then what he feels now is——

Impeccable!

It’s so perfect and so difficult!
Guo Yunchen glanced at the script on the table again and looked up at Chen Zhiming: "Mr. Hongchen, is there no news yet?"

Chen Zhiming smiled helplessly: "I have already informed the post office. As long as Mr. Hongchen puts in the letter, the specialist will deliver it to you as soon as possible!"

Guo Yunchen frowned and then relaxed his brows. He had a strong premonition: This time, Mr. Hongchen would not let him down.

It doesn't matter if there is no news, the time is so short, and a script that is rushed out may not be good.

Chen Zhiming reminded again: "Director Li has arrived at Bay Island. It's time to give him the first start-up capital."

Guo Yunchen waved his hand, "Just give it to me to sign when you're done."

Chen Zhiming responded respectfully, with a bit of admiration in his eyes. He really didn't expect that the boss really went to poach Pei Liu's corner, and he succeeded!
Guo Yunchen took a long breath and loosened his tie. Fortunately, he successfully instigated the enemy general!
Even if Pei Yuanyang changes his general temporarily, the new officer will have to get along with his subordinates, right?What's more, Li Wenxiang didn't leave alone——

He took his entire filming crew with him!
The cast of Pei's "Butterfly Lovers" is destined to be reorganized!
When he thought of this, Guo Yunchen felt refreshed and happy.

In the past two days, I have been busy reading scripts and discussing cooperation with Li Wenxiang, and I have not even listened to Ah Huan's story.

Just tomorrow.

Guo Yunchen's eyes fell outside the office window. It was already late at night, and there were only a few scattered lights in the building next to him.

Mr. Hongchen has said that he is used to working on manuscripts at night, and he doesn’t know if he is currently creating a "Butterfly Lovers" for Rongchang that can surpass Pei's——

……

Yes, Hongchen Yixiao·Song is indeed imagining the plot of "Butterfly Lovers".

After also reading Pei's "Butterfly Lovers" script, Song Huanxi also felt a lot of pressure.

Without him, Liang Shanbo in Qin Dao's version of "The Butterfly Lovers" could almost be considered a god. Song Huanxi didn't know what kind of Liang Shanbo would be needed to surpass Zhuge Shanbo in this version!
