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

"Okay, then it's settled..."

Jiang Xin sounded very happy on the phone.

She has been staying at home all this time, preparing for the entrance exam to the Central Academy of Drama. She hasn't even left the house for several weeks, which is really making her feel very stifled.

She is especially lively, active, and playful by nature.

I felt even more bored and dull during these days, and I desperately needed to get together with close friends, go out and have some fun, otherwise it would drive me crazy!

After she and her parents came to Beijing to pursue their dreams, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place with almost no close friends of the same age. The only person she was relatively "familiar" with was Lin Zhi.

therefore.

When I think about going out to find someone to hang out with, the first person I think of is Lin Zhi, and there are no other people around.

Then...

After agreeing to meet up in a few days over the phone, the two chatted casually for a few more minutes before hanging up.

This interruption made Lin Zhi momentarily forget to reply to Li Xiaoran's text message.

When I was almost home, my phone vibrated in my pocket and I received a text message.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Li Xiaoran.

Are you home yet?

Lin Zhi: [Almost there, almost there. We'll be there soon.]

Li Xiaoran: [Goodnight.]

Lin Zhi: [Good night.]

When I got home, the house was empty and dark; Wang Baoqiang hadn't come back yet.

However, Wang Baoqiang was so hardworking that he often left early and returned late, which Lin Zhi had gotten used to. So when he saw that Wang Baoqiang hadn't returned yet, even though it was late at night, he wasn't too surprised.

Huh?

However, Lin Zhi then turned on the light, changed into slippers, and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up before going to bed when, as he passed by the coffee table in the living room, a casual glance revealed a note on it, with a message left for him by Wang Baoqiang…

"So this guy was already back. I thought... he wasn't back yet!"

Lin Zhi was a little puzzled, so he bent down, took the note left by Wang Baoqiang, and looked at it carefully.

[Lin Shazi, I got a film role today, and I have to go to another city with the crew. I think it's in a place called Hengdian in Zhejiang. I'll be back next month. Don't miss me while I'm gone... I'll bring you some good food when I get back, hehe...]

There were many words on the note that the writer didn't know how to write, and they were written in pinyin.

However, his tone of voice was very much like Wang Baoqiang's, exactly the same as this guy's usual style...

"Heh~"

After reading the message on the note, Lin Zhi smiled slightly, casually tossed aside the note left by Wang Baoqiang, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

This thing... is getting better too!

They can now work on set!

Generally, if a new actor can join a production crew, it means that they have fully entered the film and television industry and are able to establish themselves and support themselves in this field.

As long as you don't aim too high in the future.

As long as you are down-to-earth, hardworking, and resourceful, you can take on any role, good or bad, and you will almost never be eliminated from this industry!

I... I've already fallen behind!

They can't even compare to the swaddling clothes!

You need to work harder... otherwise you'll really have to rely on Wang Baoqiang to help and support you in the future!

After washing up and lying in bed, Lin Zhi's mind was a jumble of thoughts, still pondering these matters...

The pressure is immense!

I slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky, when I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone next to my pillow.

"Hello, who is it?"

Lin Zhi waited until his phone rang several times before opening his eyes, picking up his phone, and seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

In those days, there weren't the people who would call and market or scam people all day long, so most calls from strangers, except for a very few wrong numbers, were for legitimate business.

Hello~

"Excuse me, are you the screenwriter of 'Crazy Stone'?"

A middle-aged man's rough voice came from the phone, asking casually.

"Um, it's me. May I ask who you are?"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar caller ID, Lin Zhi immediately perked up. The grogginess he had just woken up was instantly dispelled, and he quickly got out of bed while chatting with the man on the phone.

"Here's the thing, I happened to see the script you sent over at the Beijing Film Studio these past few days. I thought it was pretty good and wanted to buy it to make a movie. What do you think?"

The man on the phone continued.

"Uh, what's your name? May I ask which leader you are from the Beijing Film Studio?" Lin Zhi asked calmly.

"My name is Yu Dong. I no longer work at the Beijing Film Studio. I have my own private film and television company, and these past few days I've been thinking of producing a debut film to build my company's reputation. I'll buy your script. What do you think?"

It turns out that Yu Dong, who previously worked in publicity and distribution at the Beijing Film Studio, officially submitted his resignation to the studio yesterday, completely leaving the organization and starting his own private company.

However, ever since that day, when he had a sudden inspiration from the guardhouse of the Beijing Film Studio, he got his hands on some scripts written by newcomers, including those sent by Lin Zhi. After flipping through them a few times, he spotted Lin Zhi's low-budget dark comedy script, "Crazy Stone," among the many unwatchable pieces of garbage...

then!

Today, I found Lin Zhi's mobile phone number from the contact information he left in the script and called him immediately.

Let's see if we can snag a bargain and buy this pretty good commercial script.

As the youngest cadre in the former state-owned film studio of this era, Yu Dong is quite advanced and at the forefront of the times in terms of both knowledge and aesthetics.

and so!

He recognized the extraordinary nature of the excellent comedy script "Crazy Stone" at a glance!

I think that if I shoot it, I can definitely make a small fortune!

therefore……

He seized this business opportunity immediately.

Now it's a matter of whether we can easily get our hands on this script that Lin Zhi has his eye on, at a minimal cost.

"Ha, so it's General Manager Yu from Bona Film Group. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

Upon hearing that the person calling him was none other than the later-famous Yu Dong, Lin Zhi immediately became even more serious.

This guy is going to be a very powerful figure in the industry in the future, so Lin Zhi doesn't dare to underestimate him at all.

"Um... are you selling the script?"

On the other end of the phone, Yu Dong was surprised to find that Lin Zhi knew her and even the name of her newly founded company. She wondered how this new screenwriter of "Crazy Stone" knew her. However, despite her curiosity, Yu Dong did not ask about it on the phone and continued to talk about buying the script, keeping the conversation from going astray.

"this……"

"To be honest, I actually wanted to write, direct, and star in this script myself!"

"I wonder...Mr. Yu, is there any opportunity for us to cooperate?"

"In other words, you invest money in me, I'll handle the entire production and filming, and if it's profitable, we can split the profits..."

"What do you think?"

"Are you interested?"

Lin Zhi organized his thoughts and spoke slowly and deliberately.
