Chapter 422 Hello Dong Lili

Shu Chang's parents divorced when she was just a few months old. Her father abandoned her and her mother and ran away, so she grew up in a single-parent family.

Her mother passed away when she was 10 years old, and afterwards she lived alternately between her aunt's and uncle's families.

She has deep feelings about family relationships.

Previously, when Shu Chang was filming "Back to 20", she often cried while acting.

It's normal for her to have this thought.

This idea inspired Jiang Yifeng: the protagonist travels back in time to spend time with his parents, which is a great story concept.

The future of Han Han's "Riding the Waves" and Jia Lin's "Hi, Mom" ​​both reflect similar ideas.

This story structure can create both humor and sentimentality, which is consistent with the style of Old Boys.

It's definitely much better than forcibly adapting "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Furthermore, the film could also incorporate a modern poem that Jiang Yifeng copied back then—"You are still by my side."

This poem is quite famous on the internet.

As for the movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser," it will be directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo, since they are both directors and artists signed to our company.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng sat up, hugged Shu Chang tightly, and kissed her.

"You're so clever and quick-witted, Changchang! Your idea is excellent!"

After being praised by Jiang Yifeng, Shu Chang smiled very proudly, her round face flushed, and her mouth trembled a few times.

"Of course, don't always say I'm cunning. Being cunning has its advantages!"

In the harem group, Shu Chang has a reputation as a "short girl with a lot of cunning".

This saying originated on the show "Sisters Who Make Waves," where Liu Yifei teased Shu Chang after she was tricked by her.

Later, as they spent more time together, they discovered that Shu Chang was indeed like that, so they often teased her with their cunning.

Naza doesn't even call Shuchang by her full name anymore; she's given her a nickname, "Big-Eyed Girl."

Besides teasing Shu Chang about her cunning, it's also because after taking the beauty potion, Shu Chang became very large, with a noticeable difference between her youthful appearance and her enormous size.

Shu Chang gladly accepted this title.

She was very clever and knew that her thoughts would make her a target of jealousy, so she generally kept a low profile in the harem and accepted the teasing from others.

Shu Chang usually lets Liu Yifei take the lead, while she provides advice and strategies from behind.

After determining the creative direction, Jiang Yifeng went into his study, turned on his computer, and started writing the script outline.

Shu Chang stood by, adding fragrance to the scene, and occasionally offering suggestions.

In terms of their parents' situation, Jiang Yifeng and Shu Chang have common topics and a good understanding between them.

During the discussion, Jiang Yifeng quickly decided to use the "Hi, Mom" ​​formula to film a story about the female lead going back in time and meeting her mother.

The main reason for using this model is that the company has many female artists who need Jiang Yifeng's support.

The movie is called "Hello Dong Lili".

Dong Lili is Shu Chang's real name, or rather, a former name. Shu Chang now uses the name Shu Chang on her household registration and ID card.

Jiang Yifeng originally wanted to use Shu Chang's mother's real name, but Shu Chang didn't want to reveal her mother's name, so he used her former name to replace Shu Chang's mother.

The idea of ​​starting from scratch came from Shu Chang, who is also a very good actress. So, Shu Chang was chosen to play the lead role in "Hello Dong Lili".

This is a perfect opportunity to continue the topic and impact of "returning to 20 years old".

As for who will play the young Dong Lili, an audition is still needed.

Jiang Yifeng did not follow the formula of "Hi Mom" ​​for this movie.

"Hi, Mom" ​​primarily relies on maternal love to evoke emotional resonance, using the ending—where the mother is also a time traveler—as a plot twist and emotional climax. The film follows an emotionally driven approach. This is the simplest and most efficient way to boost box office revenue, but it's also the most perfunctory way to satisfy the audience.

Therefore, opinions on "Hi, Mom" ​​are polarized. Those who were moved call it a masterpiece, while those who were not emotionally engaged find it boring or even disgusting.

The biggest problem with this movie is that it confines the character of Lee Hwan-young to the identity of "mother".

Simply put, it means not treating the mother as a human being.

The mother takes it for granted that she will give everything to her child, even after being reborn, she still revolves around her child.

As for the father, needless to say, the female lead, played by Jia Lin, made her mother marry someone else, so the father is definitely a loser.

The film has been accused of "parricide," but it cannot be said to be entirely innocent.

Jiang Yifeng's script still liberates Dong Lili; she is a very young girl who did not time travel.

After the female protagonist, played by Shu Chang, travels through time, she discovers that her mother is dating a man she doesn't know and they are even about to get married. Fearing that she will be "erased," she tries her best to sabotage the couple and bring her parents together, which leads to a series of hilarious situations.

There's a small twist at the end, which slightly elevates the emotional impact.

This arrangement is actually more interesting and a healthier form of light comedy.

After looking Shu Chang up and down, Jiang Yifeng said, "If you want to act in this movie, you need to gain a little more weight."

You need to eat more these days.

Shu Chang stretched and complained, "Am I not fat enough? If you didn't like it, I'd want to go and shrink into a bear. Carrying these two on my head is really tiring~"

After becoming a big-eyed girl, Shu Chang was initially very happy and proud, often showing off in front of Liu Yifei and others.

However, as time went on, she also discovered the inconveniences of life, especially as a female celebrity, many of the dresses were not easy to wear.

"That won't do, it's about the nutrition of the next generation!" Jiang Yifeng said with a smile, "You really need to gain some weight for the role, at least 20 pounds."

"20 pounds?"

Shu Chang was very surprised when she heard the number.

She is not tall and currently weighs only 92 pounds.

20 pounds is no small number for her starting weight.

Seeing Jiang Yifeng nod, Shu Chang asked suspiciously, "I heard that you helped Zhang Tianai lose weight before, and even tried to see what she looked like when she was chubby."

You won't..."

"Nonsense! I'm doing this all for the movie, and you dare to question my taste? You're finished today!"

"Am I finished? Heh, I'm scared of you~"

Such arrogant singing ultimately earned him double the punishment.

Before she even gained weight, her posterior lobes had already swelled up considerably.

……

Jiang Yifeng's decision to reshoot "Hello Dong Lili" was quickly communicated.

Shen Teng and Ma Li were somewhat disappointed, but they didn't have any objections.

On one hand, they also have a lot of screen time in the movie "Hello Dong Lili", and on the other hand, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" will also be filmed, with them as the male and female leads.

For the female artists at Fengxing Media, however, this is a time of great upheaval.

Dong Lili is one of the two female leads in the film, and everyone wanted to play this role.

After Jiang Yifeng finished writing the script outline, he handed it over to the company team to expand the script.

He plans to wait until the entire script is finished before auditioning to see who is more suitable for the role.
