Entertainment News: Follow Wang Baoqiang's Rise to Film Emperor

The original plot of the film "Get on the Bus" is actually quite simple.

The story is roughly about two young men from the countryside who secretly leave their village and go to a private boss in Beijing through an acquaintance. They contract a short-distance minibus and work hard to earn money by picking up passengers in Beijing. It's a semi-inspirational story.

Not only is the plot simple, but the character designs and dialogue are also relatively simple.

There are no overly obscure, difficult, or hard-to-understand parts.

After all, in the previous life, Director Guan Hu only took about a week to produce this film.

Such a quickly produced video naturally wouldn't be "obscure" in terms of content.

and so……

At this moment, Lin Zhi was writing the script almost nonstop. In just a few hours, he wrote "Get on the Bus, Let's Go" in one go.

There wasn't even a single pause to catch my breath!

Because writing a movie script, unlike writing a novel, doesn't require as much beautiful descriptive writing, nor does it require polishing the writing style or meticulously refining numerous details, it's much faster to write.

"Phew~"

After quickly finishing the script, Lin Zhi threw down his pen and let out a long sigh of relief.

I got up and walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and looked outside. I saw the sun setting in the west, and before I knew it, it was almost dusk.

The crimson sunset painted half the sky red, creating a beautiful and spectacular scene.

dong dong dong~

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The unexpected knock on the door disrupted Lin Zhi's brief, blissful reverie. He guessed it was Guan Hu, but without showing any impatience, he turned and went outside to open the door.

"Ah-Zhi, did I disturb you?"

Sure enough, it was Guan Hu who came to the door, but he was followed by the actor surnamed Gao, with whom he had a close relationship. The two of them stood outside the door together. After Lin Zhi opened the door, Guan Hu immediately greeted Lin Zhi with a smile and then stepped into the house as if they were old friends.

The actor surnamed Gao followed closely behind, and after scanning the room, he smiled at Lin Zhi and said, "Brother, this place is nice. How much is the rent a month? It should be less than 1000, right? Are there any vacant rooms nearby? I'm thinking of moving here..."

"There are plenty of empty rooms here. You can look around whenever you want when you leave... The rent is also very cheap." Lin Zhi casually replied to the actor surnamed Gao, then turned around and went to the kitchen to boil a kettle of hot water and made a cup of fragrant tea for each of the two guests.

"Thank you, thank you..." The actor surnamed Gao accepted the tea and hurriedly bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"What time did you guys leave last night?"

Lin Zhi then sat down and chatted with the two of them.

"Around four or five o'clock, I think. I didn't have much fun last night. The place behind us wasn't very interesting, I'm never going there again..."

Guan Hu took a sip of the hot tea that Lin Zhi had brewed for him, then casually leaned back on the sofa in Lin Zhi's living room, stretched out his legs and put them on the coffee table, rested his head on his arm, and said with a lazy expression and a pout.

"That nightclub is newly opened, it doesn't have much history, and there aren't many fun things to do. The owner probably doesn't have any decent resources either. I don't think it will stay open for long... This industry is very competitive now! There's no shortage of fun places in Beijing..."

The male actor surnamed Gao glanced at Guan Hu, who was sprawled on the sofa, and then spoke.

The three chatted idly for a while, and finally got down to business, bringing up the script.

Lin Zhi said, "You've come at the perfect time. I just finished writing the script, I'll go get it for you to take a look..."

He got up and took the newly written script, "Get on the Bus, Let's Go," and casually tossed it onto Guan Hu's lap, who was sprawled on the sofa, so he could read it.

"Wow!"

"Ah-Zhi, you're moving a bit fast! Is it because of the story outline I gave you, and my ideas?"

Guan Hu was greatly surprised to pick up the script on his lap, then sat up straight and looked down at it with a skeptical expression.

Because Lin Zhi wrote this script so quickly, he now suspected that Lin Zhi might have just grabbed an old script he had written before to fool him.

You should know...

Less than half a day had passed since his conversation with Lin Zhi during the day, and Lin Zhi had already written the script. This speed was unimaginable, and it was no wonder that he was so suspicious.

Lin Zhi saw that Guan Hu was surprised by his writing speed, but there was no surprise on his face, because Guan Hu's reaction was exactly what he had expected.

So he smiled and said, "Director Guan, this script was written exactly according to your requirements. Take a look at it first."

Guan Hu kept his head down and remained silent, completely absorbed in reading the script. It seemed that he hadn't heard a word of Lin Zhi's explanation.

Seeing that Guan Hu was completely absorbed in reading the script and seemed oblivious to the sounds around him, Lin Zhi stopped talking and waited quietly by his side.

Seeing this, the actor surnamed Gao got bored and went to the balcony to play with the sandbag by himself, making dull thuds from time to time.

"This script...it's well-written...it's really well-written!"

"Ah Zhi, your writing is truly amazing!"

"It perfectly captures the feeling I had in my heart..."

"Especially those little plot twists, I hadn't even figured out how to portray them most appropriately!"

"I never imagined... you'd already designed this perfectly for me. This script is a masterpiece!"

"Ah Zhi, I feel like you can read my mind, haha!"

"From now on, I'll use you for all my scripts. Be my go-to screenwriter! Our collaboration will be unbeatable!"

A dozen minutes later, Guan Hu, who had been engrossed in reading the script of "Get on the Bus, Let's Go" in one go, suddenly looked up and let out a series of hearty laughs. Then he praised Lin Zhi's script, saying that it was well written and completely touched his heart, and that it was no exaggeration to say that it was his favorite script in his life.

Faced with Guan Hu's heartfelt praise and compliments, Lin Zhi did not show any arrogance and remained calm and composed.

"Director Guan, I'm glad you're satisfied!"

"Satisfied, I'm extremely satisfied... Good lad, I'll buy this script. Name your price!" Guan Hu patted the script in his hand and said with great enthusiasm.

"Um, well... Director Guan, just give me whatever you think is fair. By the way, could I have a cameo role in this film?"

"As you know, my main job is actually acting; screenwriting is just a side job..."

At this point, Lin Zhi paused slightly, then said with a serious expression, "But now there's a drought of acting opportunities, damn it, I can't get any roles..."

"I really want to be on screen and act. Do you think we could collaborate again in a future film?"

"You can rest assured about my acting skills; they're absolutely OK."

Guan Hu was slightly taken aback when he heard Lin Zhi's words.
