You call Final Destination a safety education film?

Having worked as a director his entire life, Mr. Bi has developed his own method for quickly reading scripts.

Instead of reading word for word, Mr. Bi usually skips long passages of dialogue, focusing only on the story's plot, its twists and turns, and the arrangement of conflicts. He pauses slightly to look at key passages, while quickly scanning the rest.

It didn't take long for Mr. Bi to go through the entire script.

He put down the script, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and sighed softly.

The script is excellent; even with his discerning eye, he couldn't find any fault with it.

With its bold premise, solid story framework, tight dramatic conflicts, and well-paced rhythm, the film is so captivating that you can practically picture the entire movie just by reading the text.

In particular, the idea that "life will find its own way" resonated deeply with him, who has been making documentaries for many years.

Unfortunately, this Jurassic Park book is completely different from his usual warm and comforting photography style.

Mr. Bi shook his head, opening his mouth as if to ask his assistant to reject Xinghan Culture's script, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

That familiar emptiness reappeared, but this time, it was accompanied by an irrepressible thrill.

It was a script that didn't fit his style, and according to his usual practice, he would have rejected it immediately after reading it. But now, he just couldn't bring himself to say no.

The office next door.

Assistant Zhang would occasionally glance at the clock on the wall, wondering why Old Master Bi was still reviewing the script.

In the past, Mr. Bi could finish reading the submitted scripts in about twenty minutes, but now almost an hour has passed.

Assistant Zhang walked to the door of Mr. Bi's office and found him sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, his hand supporting his forehead, and the script on the table open.

Assistant Zhang hesitated for a moment, then gently knocked on the door.

"Knock knock".

Old Bi slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.

Assistant Zhang noticed that Mr. Bi's expression was not quite right.

It's not that I'm tired, nor is it that I'm annoyed.

It was an expression he couldn't quite describe.

He had followed Master Bi for several years, and this was the first time he had seen such an expression on his face.

"Are you alright?" Assistant Zhang asked with concern. "Should I take you for a medical check-up?"

Old Bi waved his hand without saying a word.

"Should I return this script as usual?" Assistant Zhang pointed to "Jurassic Park" on the table.

"Leave it for now."

These three simple words left Assistant Zhang completely stunned.

Mr. Bi is always decisive and never puts things off, so his hesitation today is really unusual.

"OK."

Assistant Zhang glanced discreetly at the script's authorship, "Qingye," returned to his workstation, opened his browser, and searched online for "Xinghan Culture" and "Qingye." He found that the only related content was an essay contest.

An essay contest on the theme of "traveling far away".

A submission for "The Wandering Earth".

Assistant Zhang clicked on the link and carefully read through Aoba's essay.

【…】

["You're walking across a plain, and suddenly you come into contact with a wall. This wall is infinitely high above, infinitely deep below, infinitely far to the left, and infinitely far to the right. What is this wall?"]

I shuddered, then told the riddle to Ms. Xing beside me. She thought about it for a long time, then shook her head in confusion. I leaned close to her ear and told her the terrifying answer.

【"die."】

【…】

The sun has experienced a helium flash.

The chorus of "O Sole Mio" abruptly ended, and the hundreds of thousands of people on the shore froze, seemingly frozen into a solid rock, just like those on the sea.

The sun cast its light and heat upon the earth for the last time.

【…】

Taking the Earth... on a long journey?!

Assistant Zhang shook his head slightly, marveling at the author's boundless imagination.

He suddenly became curious about what kind of content this author would use to describe Bi Lao's theme of "harmonious coexistence between humans and animals".

"I'm really looking forward to it."

……

The person who sent the script was Lin Ye.

After finding "Jurassic Park" that day, he quickly typed out the content and then contacted Jiang Qingyue, who used the pseudonym "Qingye" to send it to Bi Lao through the company's channels.

"Why do you think Mr. Bi would use your script?" Jiang Qingyue asked while flipping through the script. "Your script seems to be completely out of sync with the requirements of his new film."

"Doesn't it match? I think it's alright."

"Of course it doesn't match." Jiang Qingyue said with certainty.

While the previous videos of "Final Destination" and "Hannibal" could indeed be brought back to the theme from certain angles, Jiang Qingyue felt that "Jurassic Park" and the theme of "harmony between humans and animals" were completely unrelated. She was really curious about how Lin Ye would answer.

"My benefactor, you are attached to appearances."

"?"

Jiang Qingyue clenched her fists, planning to give Lin Ye a good whack on the head when he came to Xinghan Culture to report.

Lin Ye seemed to sense the danger and then offered an explanation from behind.

The reason is actually very simple.

During these days of research, Lin Ye keenly perceived Bi Lao's predicament.

Mr. Bi's return to film from documentary is an attempt to incorporate everything he learned from documentaries into his filmmaking, using new perspectives and techniques to break through his previous limitations.

But he misunderstood his predicament from beginning to end. What trapped him was never his shooting skills, but rather the fixed labels and shooting styles he had attached to him.

The more he refines his techniques, the more trapped he becomes in his own established framework, ultimately falling from one comfort zone into another, even deeper one.

For example, even now, when he returns to film, Bi still subconsciously chooses to stick to his old shooting style, only wanting to create within familiar territory.

"So, you want to use 'Jurassic Park' to push him out of his comfort zone?" Jiang Qingyue looked at the message Lin Ye sent, still confused. "But his movie theme has already been approved. You have to be related to the theme no matter what."

"How come it's not even remotely related?"

Lin Ye chuckled and typed in the prepared statement:

"The plot of Jurassic Park may seem thrilling and terrifying, but at its core it is about the backlash caused by humans’ reckless interference with life and nature. The message it ultimately wants to convey is not that wild beasts are terrifying, but that humans should respect life and nature and learn to live in harmony with nature."

Jiang Qingyue stared blankly at the passage, quickly going through the plot of the movie "Jurassic Park" she had just watched in her mind.

That makes some sense...

But she soon realized a problem.

If Mr. Bi really decides to make "Jurassic Park," then wouldn't his previous media interviews have been misleading? What about the audience who went to the cinema expecting a heartwarming story...?

The scene was so beautiful that Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

a few days later.

Mr. Bi convened a story brainstorming meeting with his team.

When Lin Ye heard this news from Yin Jianhuan, he almost thought he had misheard.

The script collaboration was finalized just a day ago. The next meeting should have been the script finalization meeting, where the details of the script were finalized, and then the schedule and preparations would be arranged.

But what Mr. Bi convened was a story brainstorming session.

This kind of meeting should have been held when the story framework was first established, but now that the script has been finalized, there is absolutely no need to take this step.

unless.

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.
