One person's entertainment

Chapter 84: The East is Dark, the West is Bright
For lunch, Shen Lingyou sat at the same table with Chang Li.

Chang Li praised him for his good script.

I asked him some more questions about the filming.

After eating, Shen Lingyou followed Chang Li out of the school.

Chang Li hailed a taxi, got in and gave an address: Huachi East Road, Xicheng District.

After driving for a while, Shen Lingyou finally couldn't help but asked, "Teacher, where are we going?"

Chang Li replied calmly: "Golden Shield Film and Television Cultural Center."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingyou couldn't help swallowing.

He wrote entertainment novels in his previous life and was quite familiar with this name.

It is a public institution directly under the Ministry of Public Security and one of the main propaganda and cultural bases. Its purpose is to promote the rule of law, deter crime and serve the society. It has the qualifications of a public institution legal person and the qualification of Class A TV drama production in radio and television.

Could it be that……

Shen Lingyou thought that his guess was almost right. Chang Li probably knew someone who wanted to recommend him and "Never Forget You".

This is a “great thing”.

From the structure, we can know that the Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center is mainly involved in main-theme works such as crime themes, police and bandit themes, and the War of Resistance against Japan.

Their participation can provide great convenience for filming.

Coincidentally, Shen Lingyou was just about to ask whether the script had been reviewed.

If we can get in touch with the Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center, script review will not be a problem.

Of course, if the script works in the original time and space, it will definitely be fine here.

The key is to get certain support for the subsequent filming, or even a green light all the way.

In a blink of an eye, the car stopped in front of the Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center.

Shen Lingyou rushed to pay the fare.

Chang Li took him in, and after explaining the situation to the staff, they came to the deputy director's office.

Yu Caijun looked at Shen Lingyou and said with a smile, "Old Chang, this is the genius student you mentioned. He is indeed a talented person."

Shen Lingyou said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Director Yu, thank you for your praise."

Chang Li was also pleased to see his students being praised. He smiled and said, "What I just told you on the phone..."

Yu Caijun said sternly: "You didn't explain it clearly, so it's hard for me to judge. Let me take a look at the script first."

Hearing this, Shen Lingyou handed over the script.

Yu Caijun looked through it carefully.

He and Chang Li are old acquaintances. The fact that he came to see him so anxiously must mean that the script is extraordinary.

This is really unusual.

After a quick review, Yu Caijun put the script on the table, looked up at Shen Lingyou, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you tell me how you created this script?"

How could I be so interested in drugs at the age of 18 or 19? I also wrote this story that seems true or false.

Shen Lingyou suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly explained: "It's like this, this script was actually written for a song..."

He used the same rhetoric he had used with Huo Wenxi and the others last time. It wasn't perfect, but at least there weren't any serious problems with it.

After listening to it, Yu Caijun nodded slightly and then asked, "Can I see what song it is?"

Shen Lingyou raised his hand and pointed to the script on the table, saying, "The last page contains the lyrics."

After hearing him say that, Chang Li realized that it was the lyrics. When he read it, he thought it was the message on the last page.

Yu Caijun also opened the script again.

[The lone brave man...]

[I love you walking alone in the dark alley, I love you for not kneeling, I love you for facing despair...][Who says only those standing in the light are heroes...]

As the deputy director of the Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center, how could he not see who the lyrics were praising?

Where there is poison, there is drug control. This is a battle without the smoke of gunpowder. In the invisible darkness, there is a group of people who use their flesh and blood to block the darkness behind them. Who says that only those standing in the light are heroes? They are not afraid of the darkness and have light in their hearts. They are the "lone heroes" on the road of drug control.

“Well, it’s very well written!”

Yu Caijun couldn't help but applaud. The doubts in his heart disappeared at this moment. He asked curiously, "Aren't you Lao Chang's student? You can also write songs?"

Chang Li showed a hint of pride on his face, and interrupted, "Don't underestimate my student. He is not only good at writing songs, but also very good at singing. Recently, some of the most popular songs on major radio stations, such as "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Descendants of the Dragon", and "Yellow Man", were all written and sung by him."

"Oh!" Yu Caijun was full of surprise, his eyes sparkling with disbelief, and said, "I've heard it before. It turns out to be your song."

Shen Lingyou smiled slightly and said, "It's just a hobby."

Yu Caijun praised a few more times and then got to the point, asking first: "Do you know what our Golden Shield Film and Television Cultural Center does?"

Shen Lingyou restrained his smile and said seriously, "I know."

"That saves us a lot of trouble." Yu Caijun didn't need to explain any more, so he said, "We want to cooperate with your script, that is, co-produce it, and provide some help for the filming, such as cooperation from the local police, borrowing of police venues, approval of police props, etc."

Shen Lingyou didn't even think about it and said directly: "That's great."

Yu Caijun put on a smile again and asked him, "Do you agree?"

Shen Lingyou nodded and said, "I agree."

Yu Caijun smiled with satisfaction and said, "If you have any conditions, you can tell me directly."

Shen Lingyou pondered for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "There are no conditions, but there is a difficulty."

Yu Caijun asked: "What difficulties?"

Shen Lingyou replied: "My company was established not long ago, and the funds are not very sufficient. The filming budget is still a little short."

Yu Caijun asked again: "How much difference?"

Shen Lingyou replied: "150 million."

After a brief thought, Yu Caijun said, "This is not a small amount. We need to hold a meeting to discuss it. But don't worry, your script and song are very good and can impress the leaders."

"Then I'll trouble you, Director Yu."

"Old Yu, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Lingyou followed Chang Li to leave the Golden Shield Film and Television Culture Center and returned to the Central Academy of Drama.

He thanked Chang Li very solemnly.

Chang Li just told him to take good pictures.

In just one afternoon, Yu Caijun received news that his leader agreed to invest 150 million yuan.

This……

It was really like a blessing in disguise. Not only did we solve the funding problem, but we also got the green light for filming.

"You have been smiling since you came back to class. Who did Teacher Chang take you to see that made you so happy?" After school, on the way to the courtyard, Zeng Xiaolai asked out of curiosity.

"Teacher Chang took me to meet the deputy director of the Golden Shield Film and Television Cultural Center, and we reached a cooperation agreement to fill the funding gap of our "Never Forget You." Shen Lingyou had a constant smile on his face, and he was really happy.

"That's indeed something to be happy about." Zeng Xiaolai knew that he and Huo Wenxi had been troubled by the filming budget recently, and he could not help. Now that it has been resolved, he feels relieved.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Shen Lingyou couldn't wait to tell Huo Wenxi: "Sister Xi, I have good news."

Huo Wenxi smiled and said, "Really? I have good news too."
