The literary era since 1979

The reason why Louis Koo was sent to the TVB Artist Training Class for further studies was naturally for the future development of Ming Kong Film Company.

Not to mention Cinema City, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, even Xu Ke Studio has first-line actresses like Lin Qingxia under its name.

Therefore, Mingkong Film Company also needs some outstanding artists. As for the talented ones, like Ng Man-tat, Stephen Chow, and Jet Li, who were made famous by Fang Yan himself, Fang Yan would definitely not allow other film companies to get involved. As for the signing and cultivation of idols, there is already Li Zhi, a woman.

As for male idols, since Nicholas Tse is still too young, he can only be a training system, so Louis Koo is a good choice.

Of course, Liu Dehua, who was suppressed by Shaw Brothers, is also a suitable candidate, but we have to wait until his contract expires.

Fang Yan thought so as he looked absentmindedly at the rising and rolling sea of ​​clouds through the window of the plane.

After a while, the flight carrying the Japanese delegation to China landed safely at the Capital International Airport.

Keiko Matsuzaka, Komaki Kurihara and others walked down the boarding stairs one after another, and saw the tarmac full of people welcoming them.

Not only did they hold up bilingual banners with welcome slogans, but they also held flowers in their hands, all of them warmly welcoming Keiko Matsuzaka and her group.

"Hehe, Minister Wang, I'm glad you fulfilled your mission."

Fangyan shook hands with Wang Meng and joked with him.

Wang Meng cast a gratified and satisfied look, "Thank you for your hard work on this trip. Did everything go smoothly on the way?"

"all the best."

Fangyan introduced the two parties to each other with a smile.

When he was about to get on the bus that was picking up the exchange group, Wang Meng suddenly called him and he got into his Hongqi car, full of doubts.

Wang Meng said seriously, "Yanzi, now I have an important and glorious task for you to do."

"You say."

Fang Yan originally thought that it would be a job transfer, and he would be transferred to the Joint Publishing Company in Hong Kong as the editor-in-chief to help Xiao Zi, Pan Yaoming and others get out of trouble.

But he never expected that he would be asked to participate in the script writing team of the 70th anniversary tribute film of the August st Film Studio, and that this project turned out to be the "The Decisive Battle" trilogy. His heart suddenly started pounding, his head was buzzing, and he felt dizzy as if a pie in the sky had fallen.

“It’s a difficult mission.”

Wang Meng spoke succinctly about the requirements for script writing, insisting that all historical details of the year must be written into the script.

"I see."

Fangyan took a deep breath and then asked other members of the script writing team.

"You will know this when you go to the meeting at the Bayi Factory."

Wang Meng said that at present, all he knows is that the chief director of the "The Decisive Battle" trilogy has been handed over to the third-generation director, Li Jun, who is also recognized by the Bayi Film Studio for his seniority and strong ability. As for the chief screenwriter of "The Decisive Battle" and the leader of the script writing team, they will basically be held by Fang Yan.

"I'm the chief screenwriter!?"

Fangyan shuddered, and his brain instantly climaxed, but his remaining rationality told him to seek help from others. He was not being modest...

"Don't feel too stressed. The other co-writers in the team will work with you to complete the script together!"

Wang Meng said seriously.

The dialect gradually returned to calm. In the creation process of general film and television scripts, there is only one main screenwriter, and the rest are either assistant screenwriters or literary planners. Large-scale projects like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" are jointly created by multiple screenwriters, also called "co-screenwriters". Usually one person among these co-screenwriters is designated as the chief screenwriter, and parachuting is not ruled out.

For example, Zhu Sujin, as soon as he became the chief screenwriter, wrote extremely bad scripts, such as "Zhu Yuanzhang" and "Kangxi Dynasty"...

Especially the "New Three Kingdoms" with lines that are so shocking that they are thunderous, "I'll tell you your name and make you laugh. I'm the general Xing Daorong born in the 2000s", "Let's continue the music and dance", "Go straight to Zhuge Liang's four-wheeler", "My axe has been thirsty for a long time", etc.

But if he is not the chief screenwriter but just a co-screenwriter, it seems as if his feet are off the ground, the virus is shut down, and the smart IQ takes over the high ground!
For example, "Let the Bullets Fly" must be listed as a World Heritage Site!
There are many people like this who can play supporting roles but are not good at being the main C in the screenwriter industry, because the task of the chief screenwriter is not only to be responsible for the creation and overall planning of the script, but more importantly to be responsible for overall coordination and final decision-making.

"With your current qualifications, abilities and achievements, there is no one in the entire film industry who is more suitable than you." Wang Meng said in a serious tone. Just based on the military novels he wrote, such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Operation Sword", as well as the film adaptations of the same name, which have all achieved great success in both word-of-mouth and box office, the position of chief screenwriter of the "Armageddon" trilogy is naturally his.

"Sigh~"

Fangyan took a deep breath and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

"The comrades at the Bayi Factory also think so. What do you think? Do you dare to shoulder this heavy burden?"

Wang Meng gave him an encouraging look.

"Go through fire and water, Teacher Wang!"

Fang Yan changed the subject and asked, "Regarding the script of "The Decisive Battle", do the leaders have any specific requirements?"

"Look, don't worry yet. Everything will become clear once you attend the meeting held by the Bayi Factory."

Wang Meng emphasized that the top priority at the moment is the 30th anniversary of cultural and artistic exchange activities between the two countries, and the contribution of dialects is indispensable here.

"Obligated!"

Fangyan assured her of his wish and was overjoyed.

After the welcome banquet was over, they settled Keiko Matsuzaka, Komaki Kurihara and others, and then rushed to the Shichahai Courtyard without stopping.

Gong Xing rolled up his sleeves and hung the washed clothes one by one on the clothesline. A puppy was always wagging its tail and circling around his feet.

"Wang Wang Wang."

The puppy smelled the scent of its male owner, and immediately licked its tongue and rushed towards Fangyan.

Fangyan put down the suitcase and gift in his hands, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over directly.

Gong Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck and said with a smile:

"I'm back. Are you hungry? Do you want me to feed you?"

"Okay!"

They hugged each other tightly for a moment, and Fangyan took advantage of the time she was cooking noodles to pack the luggage, gifts and other things.

"Come and eat!"

Gong Xing walked into the house carrying a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, and saw him stuffing a thick stack of manuscripts into a brown paper bag.

Fangyan explained that he would send the completed draft of The Three-Body Problem to the Science Fiction World Publishing House, and that he would ask Yang Xiao, Yao Haijun and others to go north to Yanjing to sit down and discuss the application for the World Science Fiction Convention, and strive to have it settled in Chengdu, Sichuan.

"Let me help you."

Gong Xing asked him to dictate while eating noodles, and she wrote the letter on his behalf.

"There's no rush for a while."

In the dialect, eat a mouthful of pickled garlic and a mouthful of noodles.

Gong Xing rested his chin on his hands, watching him happily eat the noodles he made, and quietly listened to him talk about the various things he had experienced from the United States to Japan and then to Hong Kong. However, things like investing in SoftBank, founding a two-dimensional light novel library, and trading in Japanese yen and foreign exchange were only briefly mentioned.

"If you say so, then doesn't that mean that Farewell My Concubine will be filmed soon?"

"Hehe, I originally wanted to start preparing next year."

Fangyan shook his head and laughed. It just happened to be the same time as "The Final Battle". He didn't know whether to say it was a pity or luck! (End of this chapter)
