Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 98

Guo Fan was particularly surprised to receive Cheng Xi's invitation call.

Originally, most of their interactions were professional discussions.

I didn't expect that they would invite me to join their crew and be a screenwriter.

But Guo Fan had no reason to refuse this job, not to mention that the two of them had a good relationship.

I just said that the money offered by my junior was indeed acceptable, and joining the crew would also allow me to gain some experience, so it was also a very good choice.

After all, it seems that "The Beginning" has become popular before it is even aired.

There are discussions everywhere on Weibo now. Although there are more people who do not support their junior brother becoming a director, these are still traffic.

So I agreed very readily.

So Cheng Xi borrowed the two professional editors from Mr. Zeng who had worked with him on the script last time:
Editors Min and You.

Editor Min was co-signed as the screenwriter of "Diaosi Man" with me last time because he accepted the most stories.

The two of them are actually quite good, and they should be able to better utilize their strengths when writing serious dramas.

In this case, Mr. Zeng directly suggested that it would be better to keep it the same as before.

Go to the Tomorrow Star Hotel to work on the script, this is also where we start.

So Cheng Xi simply called over the screenwriters of the second season of "Never Expected", the second season of "Diaosi Men", and his own screenwriter of "The Beginning".

It just so happens that I can finish all the script issues at once and devote myself to "The Beginning".

All of a sudden, the Tomorrow Star Hotel became bustling with activity.

The second floor is full of people from Wanhe Tianyi and Youku, the fourth floor is full of people from "Diaosi Nanren" and Sohu, and I and the screenwriters of "The Beginning" live on the third floor.

One is to separate the people from Youku and Sohu, and the other is to make it convenient for me to go upstairs and downstairs to review the progress of the script.

This time, Cheng Xi did not continue to live with Wang Ge. Instead, he learned from the last lesson and lived in a suite by himself.

As for Cheng Xi himself, he first approved another week's leave for his counselor Cao Jinnan, and then explained the situation to the class monitor Luo Xinran.

Then I started my non-stop writing work.

This feeling made Cheng Xi feel a little split.

Sometimes it’s “The Beginning”, sometimes it’s “Wanwan”, and sometimes it’s “Diaosi Men”.

Sometimes I almost make mistakes myself.

And some people did not make Cheng Xi worry, even though he said that he was compiling the script in a closed manner.

But Reba, Zhang Tianai, Jin Chen, Liu Yan, Xu Dongdong and others took turns to visit him.

It’s okay that Reba and Zhang Tianai came to see me. At most they would rub my shoulders or something, which wouldn’t take up much time.

It's okay to be affectionate occasionally.

But Liu Yan, Jin Chen and the others are not easy to deal with.

This time, I took advantage of the opportunity of filming the second season of "Diaosi Men" to come and see Dapeng and Cheng Xi.

I don’t know if Dapeng knows about him and Liu Yan, and it’s probably useless to ask.

According to Dapeng's personality, he can at most give Cheng Xi:

I don’t know.

Dapeng has a good personality, but he rarely goes against your ideas and it is rare to hear critical opinions from him.

Just this afternoon, Cheng Xi was in the living room of his suite reviewing the scripts submitted by everyone.

Liu Yan ran over, saying not to disturb her while doing whatever she wanted.

While working, I asked:

"Is this the room next door where you were last time?"

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but after I did, clear memories came back to me, and the flavor was even better with the situation.

Cheng Xi continued to review the script.

Sadly, I only managed to read less than two pages.

But his tense nerves did relax a lot, and some inspiration came to him.

Some of the previous memories seemed to be activated.

So Liu Yan stared at Cheng Xi in amazement, writing the script furiously!

I sighed inwardly, could this be the legendary genius?
Liu Yan sighed:
What is this?
It seems I'm here to bring you inspiration, right?
No, doesn't this make it seem more important that I don't have a script?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xi was even more inspired.

Write slower, for fear that inspiration will not keep up and disappear.
That would be a double loss.

Not only did I lose capital, but I also lost the script.

After a while, Liu Yan said:
"I'm tired. I'm going to the room to rest for a while."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Xi had no choice but to let her go.

After all, he had more important things to do in the living room.

When Cheng Xi thought that his inspiration had stopped, Jin Chen came to visit again and knocked on the door.

She first went to the fourth floor to visit Dapeng and some of her former scriptwriting comrades.

This time, Mr. Zeng had suggested that Jin Chen continue to participate in writing the script, saying that this girl was a good seedling and very smart.

But Cheng Xi still refused. As for Jin Chen, forget it. It was him who helped her sort out her thoughts last time.

She couldn't even come up with half a script.

So don't come and make trouble this time.

The most important thing is that the studio is not planning to give her the role of screenwriter now.

We asked her to come here before just to make her act as a troublemaker.

Although Jin Chenhai was determined to return home last time, he made it clear that he wanted to follow me in the future.

Although he agreed directly, Jin Chen is now a member of his studio after all.

So I also vaguely regarded her as my own.

You can choose to touch it or not, but others don’t have to choose.

Jin Chen is an old customer of Tomorrow Star Hotel.

And the room he lived in was the same one he and she had stayed in last time.

So I found myself easily.

As soon as I came in, I saw myself writing a script.

He looked over curiously and talked about the time they wrote a script together.

Cheng Xi thought about it and felt that it was indeed very interesting at that time.

But Cheng Xi is now in trouble because of the last game.

And now my thoughts are blocked again.

There is a ready-made one here.

At first, Cheng Xi was quite serious.

But he became obviously absent-minded afterwards.

This made Jin Chen very angry.

Jin Chen is not as good-tempered as Liu Yan.

How could she not get furious and angry when she was bullied like this?

But Cheng Xi didn't know Jin Chen's personality yet, and this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Especially when I think about the other person inside.

Maybe he is awake now and listening. Although Jin Chen doesn't know, Cheng Xi knows.

Inspiration continued to pour in, seemingly endless. Cheng Xi once again sped up his writing.

In the end, Jin Chen also said that he was tired and wanted to go in and rest.

When Cheng Xi saw Jin Chen was about to leave, he forgot that there was another person inside.

There's no way, I'm too obsessed with writing the script.

Just when I realized what was happening and was about to stop him, Jin Chen had already opened the door and walked in.

Cheng Xi thought about what their good sisters had done before, and thought that they should understand me.

For the sake of work, I have to bear with them again.

So, you can imagine.

Liu Yan was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by the noise coming from Cheng Xi's side after a while.

Listening carefully, something is wrong.

It's not a dream, it's a real voice.

And the voice sounds familiar.

Is this voice the same as the one next door that day?
Jin Chen?

Damn bastard Cheng Xi, you come at me again one, two, three, four, right?
Liu Yan recognized who it was right away, perhaps because she had such a deep impression of the person next door that day.

When Jin Chen opened the door, he saw Sister Liu Yan inside.

But why is Sister Liu Yan here, wearing a bathrobe?

It’s Cheng Xi again, that bastard Dingxi, teasing us sisters!

Well, in the end, it was the sensible elder sister Liu Yan who persuaded Jin Chen who was about to go out and settle the score with Cheng Xi.

"Actually, writing the script was quite hard for him. It made me feel so sad just seeing him like that."

"He has to deal with three scripts alone, and the outside world is so pessimistic about his ability to direct. I think the pressure is huge."

After hearing what Sister Liu Yan said, Jin Chen felt a little distressed.

No wonder I was so focused on the script just now that I didn’t have any thoughts about anything else.

In fact, Jin Chen misunderstood. Cheng Xi had both thoughts in mind.

The script and the director promote and cooperate with each other so that they can grow together.

So Jin Chen also took a bath and fell asleep with Sister Liu Yan.

Sister Liu Yan touched Jin Chen's head and slowly fell asleep.

Cheng Xi was in high spirits, but he didn't expect Jin Chen to leave.

I just can’t think of anything.

I banged my head but nothing came out.

Ugh.

However, what Cheng Xi didn't expect was that the person inside didn't come out.

There is someone outside knocking on the door and coming in.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was my half-old friend, Xu Dongdong.

Cheng Xi's eyes moved around, and he roughly knew what Xu Dongdong was here for.

The Coconut Tree Group was the most generous sponsor of the first season of "Diaosi Men".

Of course, I was the first to know that the second season of "The Diaosi Man" was going to start filming.

So, Xu Dongdong was arranged to come and see if there was a suitable role.

She only played a secretary in the first season, and she had such a good effect with just one minute of appearance.

This time, we have to tailor a better supporting role.

Then don’t take off yet.

Xu Dongdong is of course happy to see this happen, and she has a trump card.

And this trump card is the person who wrote the script in front of you.

I heard that Xu Dongdong wanted to ask for a role, preferably a more customized one.

Cheng Xi replied:
"This... this needs some inspiration."

Xu Dongdong looked at Cheng Xi's pretentious appearance and asked:

"Then maybe some other outburst of inspiration wouldn't work. If it's not inspiration, it should be better than inspiration, right?"

This time, Cheng Xi was inspired again.

Anyway, I'll continue writing my script.
"I'm tired. I'll go into the room, wash my face, and then take a rest."

Cheng Xi was almost paralyzed when he heard this, and said quickly:

"No, please don't. Stay here with me."

"Wipe your face first."

Of course Cheng Xi didn't dare let her in.

There are two more people inside.

Liu Yan and Jin Chen were already furious after hearing what they heard inside.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Dongdong listened to his advice and didn't go in again.

Fortunately, fortunately, this person is obedient.

Unlike the first two.

But what Cheng Xi didn't expect was that there was a knock on the door again and again.

"Brother, it's me, I came to see you!"

It turned out to be Mr. Zeng.

How can Cheng Xi not open it? He must open it.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had just happened.

Cheng Xi could only explain and deal with it quickly.

So we waited for some time, but as Mr. Zeng urged us, my brother didn't know what was going on and still didn't open the door.

Mr. Zeng, you are usually so sensible, why are you so rebellious today?

Cheng Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the door.

Bring Mr. Zeng in and take a look.

Xu Dongdong was missing, and the slightly open gap in the door made Cheng Xi understand.

This lady finally got in.
"Brother, you look listless and pale."

Mr. Zeng said with great concern:
"I've been busy with the script lately, you know. I'm three in one."

Cheng Xi said meaningfully.

As for what is meant by one against three, I believe you don’t understand it either.

But the three sisters inside understood it as soon as they heard it.

"You're not in good shape, bro. Look, do you want me to find you another troublemaker to stimulate your nerves?"

Still looking for women to make trouble for medicine? Still stimulating nerves?

If this continues, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!

But Mr. Zeng, I still want to thank you. You are such a nice person.

There are three troublemakers in it.
I hope they stop making trouble now.
